Join us on June 11, 2011, for the tenth Mad Robin Ball. Help us celebrate this milestone in the elegant Hermann Sons Hall in Petaluma, California. To mark the occasion, we have recruited the team that brought us the popular Farnicle Huggy book and CD of late 17th century and early 18th century dances. Englishman Andrew Shaw, our dancing master, reconstructed the dances and wrote the book. The fabulous California trio of Rebecca King, Jon Berger, and Jim Oakden recorded the CD of all the tunes. These folks, separated by a continent and an ocean, will be reunited at Mad Robin and magic will happen! Andrew's program this year features both popular favorites and new material, including a few from Farnicle Huggy. You know you want to be there! As is our custom, we'll follow the Saturday afternoon workshop and evening ball with a Sunday potluck brunch and special Sebastopol dance to make it a full weekend of fun.
Mad Robin is an English Country Dance Ball organized by the English dance group in Sebastopol, founded by Lydee Scudder and sponsored by the North Bay Country Dance Society. A chance to dress up, meet new dancers, explore Sonoma County and dance to wonderful live music in a grand old ballroom. We hope to see you at the next Mad Robin Ball!
