Holiday folk dance schedule at Fermilab

    Dec.. 15 – no dancing (because we need to rehearse for our Museum of Science and Industry performance – come see some of us do Welsh dances to live music this Saturday at 11 a.m. on their Christmas Around the World stage.)

    Dec.. 22 – Holiday Party # 1 – we are expecting some out of town guests and old friends and a special dance treat, in addition to some special holiday dances.

     Dec.. 29 – no dancing, but.......
     Dec. 30 – (Friday, not Thursday) Holiday Party #2  -  We hope to see some of you who can’t always make it during the rest of the year, but might have a chance to visit during the holidays!

For those of you who do other kinds of dancing at Fermilab, we’ve just decided that there will be Scottish country dancing with out a break. The Silk and Thistle Holiday Party is Dec.. 20, but there will also be dancing Dec.. 27 and Jan. 3 to prepare for the New Year’s Ball coming up Jan. 7 and 8.

Likewise, Fermilab English country dancing will meet as usual on the first Sunday of the month, which is New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, beginning with a brunch at noon and then an afternoon of going over dances for the New Year’s Ball. Dances for the Ball will also be the material for the festive session of English dancing coming up at the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park the evening of Dec.. 19.
