The nineteenth century writer, Friedrich Nietzsche, once said: “We should consider everday lost in which we do not dance at least once.” After the delights of yesterday evening, I would have to agree. The Clear Lake English Country Dance group put on a lovely ball complete with a savory pot luck dinner and a beautiful array of desserts. The dancing it self consisted of sixteen dances that ranged from mixers, waltzes, reels, quadrilles and many more exciting dances. The evening offered the opportunity to come out dressed up in your favorite period wear and dance to a live band and caller.
It was really lovely to see everyone decked out in their finest. To my surprise, there were several periods represented. There was of course the Regency, as well as the Medieval, Victorian, and some Shakesperian as well. The “Disney” period was represented as well with an appearence by Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Below are some photos of the ball.
As you can see, it was a lovely time! If you feel inclined to get in on the fun, please visit one of their regular dances. The Clear Lake English Country Dance group meets the first and third Fridays of the month at 7:30 p.m., at Clear Lake United Methodist Church. The address is 16335 El Camino Real Houston, Texas.
