Join us at a spectacular grand Victorian Ball at the historic Alameda Elks Lodge Ballroom and Salon, with brilliant 19th Century dance music by Franklin Beauregard Davis and The Brassworks, famous for their wonderful arrangements of classic Viennese Waltzes and of light classical music for ballroom dancing. The Brassworks will play a varied program, ranging from Victorian rotary waltzes, Viennese waltzes, polkas, mazurka waltzes, and schottisches to quadrilles, mixers, and set dances.
Doors open at 6:30 pm and there will be a pre-ball dance class in Victorian ballroom dance at 7 pm followed by formal dancing to the Brassworks from 8 pm to midnight. No partners required and all set dances will be taught and called at the ball.
Victorian costume ((1837-1900)., Victorian Steampunk costume, vintage attire, dress uniform or modern evening dress is admired but not required.
Light refreshments will be served and our celebrated No Host bar will be open but we suggest our guests dine before the ball. There are a variety of excellent restaurants in the neighborhood, especially on nearby Park Street.
