We'd like to share this invitation with the Queer Contra Dance community: Dance the night away with Mr. Charles Dickens and his favorite characters at PEERS' annual Victorian 12th Night Ball (The Dickens Fair Reunion Ball) on Saturday, January 6, at the beautiful Alameda Elks Lodge. Bangers & Mash plays an evening of elegant Victorian ballroom dance music and lively English Country Dances in the Grand Ballroom while a riotous party carries on below stairs with Mad Sal, the cast of Oliver Twist, keyboard wizard Nine-Fingered Fanny, and the best bar in London. Special performances by the Peerless Music Hall and Mr. Charles Dickens himself. Victorian costume or modern evening dress is admired, but not required. chic dress for prom party look amazing
