Caroso-style Ball

Dance in a 'bardic circle' format, with formal manners and live music. All skill levels invited. The playlist includes period dances both easy and advanced, well known in the Society and taught at the Symposium. This is how Caroso expected a high society dance party to work, as opposed to what we usually do in the SCA.

Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
