The Bay Area English Regency Society (BAERS)
< www.baers.org >
is pleased to present
an Early American July 10, 2009 in Palo Alto

Celebrating the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, you can
dance like Thomas Jefferson or Dolley Madison - enjoy music and dances from
the early years of the United Sates, between 1776 and 1815 - at our
casual-dress dance party.

The Bay Area English Regency Society sponsors informal (casual dress) dance
parties at St. Mark's Episcopal Church (600 Colorado Avenue, a block and a half
West of Middlefield, in Palo Alto) on the second Friday of each month (except
January, August, and December). Most months we focus on dances from Jane
Austen's England.

Admission $8. All dances taught or prompted, usually by Alan Winston (an
excellent beginner-friendly caller who has led country dancing in 10 states
and two countries).

Newcomers welcome, no experience necessary, no partners required - the custom
in the late 1700s was was to change partners frequently - live music. Casual
dress. Wear shoes you can dance in. Doors open at 7:45; dancing begins at
8:00 and continues (with a mid-evening break) until 10:30. Some light
refreshments are provided; contributed refreshments are welcome.

Here's the Palo Alto Weekly's story and slide show on our dance party in
