See you Sunday.
You’re invited to the third waltz of the season. Tina Chancey, Liz Donaldson and Ralph Gordon, aka WALTZ SISTERS, will provide dance music in Glen Echo’s Spanish Ballroom. Suggested donation of $15 per person ($5 for students and children), to compensate the band and sound tech and pay the room rental, will be collected at the door. Beginning waltz lesson starts at 2:45. Music from 3:30-6:00 p.m. Put on your dancing shoes–they’ve been dormant too long!
A reminder that proof of vaccination and masking are required for the waltz in the Spanish Ballroom, Sunday, 10/24. If you submitted your vax card at the last waltz or by email, you won’t have to provide it again. Your name (only) will be on a list that Waltz Time maintains. Everyone must be masked (musicians exempt during performance) while in the building. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
See you Sunday!

YOU’RE INVITED! This message serves as your official invitation to the Waltz Time dance on Sunday, October 10, in the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom, and to our upcoming dates in 2021 (Oct. 24, Nov. 7, Nov. 21, and Dec. 5 all in the ballroom, and Dec 19 in the Pavilion). In accordance with Glen Echo Partnership’s policy, tickets may not be sold at the door. As advance sales are not possible at this time, we request from our invitees a donation of $15 to reimburse Waltz Time for the band, sound, and ballroom rental costs (children 12 and under: free, full-time students: $5). If you know other local waltzers who may want to attend but may not have seen this message, they are welcome on Oct. 10th. Please let us know at waltztimedances@gmail.com or kouryjea@gmail.com so that we can invite them too. If you or your guests would like to be invited to future dances, to comply with GEPPAC and Montgomery County policies, we must ask that everyone’s email address be on our invitee list.
Remember that our 2021 events are open to VACCINATED DANCERS ONLY, and MASKS ARE MANDATORY IN THE BALLROOM. Per the information at our web site www.waltztimedances.org, please bring your completed vax record card (or a photo thereof) to the dance on Sunday, or email us a picture at waltztimedances@gmail.com. We will not keep these; we will just note your name to confirm you are vaxed so you don’t have to repeat this for future waltzes.
Rest assured that vaccination information will not be public. Committee members will maintain a list of names only so that dancers need not provide proof of vaccination at each waltz.
A reminder that waltzing resumes next Sunday, October 10. Music will be provided by DEVINE COMEDY: Steve Hickman, Marty Taylor, John Devine and Brian Farrell. Beginner waltz lesson at 2:45 pm; dancing from 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm. Admission is $15. No partner necessary and ALL are welcome.
Dancing in the time of Covid requires some adjustments, of course. Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn at all times in the ballroom. You can bring your vax card to the dance or upload a copy before Sunday to waltztimedances@gmail.com. Please check the Waltz Time website, waltztimedances.org, or the WT page on Facebook for more information.
It’s been a long, long time since we last gathered. Since we’ll all be masked, we’ll provide labels to use as name badges and we hope you’ll wear them.
Pull out your dancing shoes, dust them off, then put them to use!
Free dancing and showcase, 11:30 am – 9:00 pm. Waltzing from 2:00-4:00. If you know someone who wants to learn basic waltz, there’s a beginner lesson from 1:30-2:00.
