We organised it as a joint birthday gift for my two sisters Jessica (18) and Rebekah (16).
Jessica, Rebekah & Rachael.
We had a live band playing from authentic instruments, and a caller who has been teaching, calling and writing about this period of dance for over 20 years.All the guests (over 100 people came) had a wonderful time, and everyone has voted that we do it again sometime! It was SO fun dancing for hours all the dances that one could imagine were danced in Austen and Dicken's time!
We gave out prizes to a boy, girl, man, and woman for the best dressed. Cath MacLennan has posted on her blog some pictures also of the ball, amongst them was a picture of David MacLennan who one the prize for the best dressed man. Cath looked wonderful also (which you can see on her blog), as did everyone who came. It was so wonderful that people put the effort into making their own clothes and accessories. Most of the Gentlemen made their own top hats; and most of the Ladies made their own dresses.
