The Fezziwig Ball is next week! One thing that sets the Ball apart from the rest of our events is the fact the we’ll be dancing with a live band! Just like it would have been in Dickens’ classic novel, we will have real-live strings and winds! Though we are blessed with a couple of modern conveniences that Old Mr. Fezziwig had to make-do without (Portable piano, microphone, mixer).
We do encourage you to read through this list and, if there’s anything that doesn’t sound familiar to you, go ahead and follow the link to a short video. (Don’t worry, we’ll still teach you each dance beforehand.)
