The Music: Spare Parts and Sharon Guli
Following our dining experience, we will gather on the beautiful wood floor of the Lodge and enjoy the delightful music of Spare Parts, brought in especially for us from the northeast. Spare Parts provided the dance music when the San Diego Vintage Dance Society hosted their Vintage Dance Week in Asheville last spring and we are extremely pleased they will be joining us for our Masquerade Ball! You can sample the beauty of Spare Parts on their website here:
As fitting for a Masquerade Ball which will feature costumes from many eras, our Instructor and Prompter of Vintage Dance, Sharon Guli from Bellvue, Colorado, will lead you through dances from many eras - from Colonial to Charleston, Regency to Ragtime. This is a special opportunity for those who love to dance to experience a variety of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century dances. Sharon has a special gift with her patient yet lively instruction and makes learning the dances easy and incredibly enjoyable. Our dance evening will include dances from the time of Jane Austen, Queen Victoria, and America's Ragtime era, with a few surprises in store!
Beginners and advanced dancers are all welcome and will find the dance floor transformed, through Sharon's special gift, into a beautiful, magical, and time traveling experience. No partner or previous experience is necessary, as all of the set dances will be adeptly taught and prompted. Whether you are an experienced dancer or cannot count the number of left feet you possess, you will be swept up in the transformation!
