Evening Ball

The day will conclude with a spectacular ball led by Lord Galeran Chanterel, who has previously led successful balls at Atlantian Twelfth Night and various other events. We will begin with a short Caroso Ball, a performance style attested in period, and then move to open dancing. Dances will be called during the main ball. A middle eastern dance & drum circle will be conducted simultaneously.

Caroso Ball

Between court and the start of the main dancing, we will conduct a short ball in the style recommended by Master Fabritio Caroso in the 16th century. This is much like a bardic circle for dancers, and couples or single sets will take turns presenting dances for everyone else to watch and enjoy. All are welcome to take a turn dancing at the Caroso Ball, and may choose any dance from the list below. You should also feel free to come watch only. There is no need to pick a complicated dance (though you may!), as there is beauty in even the simplest dance performed with grace and a light heart. Show us your stuff! Here is the list of dances for which music is available.

Do you want to perform a dance at the Caroso Ball that you don’t see listed above? Contact Galeran ahead of time and he’ll do his best to accommodate the request.

Main Ball

The Ball will occur in four even sets with a short break between each. All dances will be called, but dances will not be taught during the evening ball. We encourage you to take advantage of the day's classes to learn the choreographies beforehand!
