THE GREAT GATSBY BALL
Advertisement
Join us for a swinging 1920's dance party, inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most sensational novel, “The Great Gatsby.” The fabulous Oaktown Strutters will play dance music ranging from romantic waltzes, fox trots, and tangos to cool blues, hot Swing and that new dance sensation, the Charleston. There's something for everyone at Jay Gatsby’s grand ball.
At 7 pm, there will be a pre-ball workshop in One-Step, Slow Foxtrot, and East Coast Swing. Formal dancing continues from 8 pm to midnight. This is a great way to polish up your dance skills or to get some extra practice for the Art Deco Society's Gatsby Summer Afternoon next week!
1920’s or ‘30’s costume or vintage or modern evening dress is admired but not required. White tie or black tie optional. Socialites, show people, artists, and even politicians and underworld types are welcome but leave your "pieces" at home. This is a classy event! (And, besides, the Chief of Police never misses one of Mr. Gatsby’s parties!).
There will be a light snack buffet in the salon, and (in defiance of Prohibition) a no-host (cash) bar outside the ballroom. Don’t worry: Both our Governor and the Chief of Police are good friends of Jay Gatsby!
Our venue is the historic Alameda Elks Lodge at - at 2255 Santa Clara Avenue, Alameda, CA. For ticket information, see https://www.peersdance.org/gatsby.html
