Tra la, it’s May, the lusty month of May
That lovely month when waltzers* go blissfully astray
~Camelot (the musical)

Your highnesses may dance, from 3:30-6:00 in the regal Spanish Ballroom, for a tribute of $15 per person ($5 for peons–er, students and children), payable in cash or by check. For novices, there’s a beginner lesson at 2:45.; minstrelsy from 3:30-6:00 by PETRICHORD: Colleen Holroyd, Sophie Chang and Bobby LaRose. No experience or partner needed.

Join dancers at the Strauss Ball in the Spanish Ballroom because:

1. It’s a fundraiser to support the programs at Glen Echo Park.

2. It ’s a booster—to your social life, your psyche and your circulatory system.

3. It’s glamorous—you get to wear finery that’s been mothballed for two years.

4. It’s one of the few times you can march in a—Grand March.

5. Finally, and this really truly matters, it’s FUN!

Note: Covid and offspring continue to bedevil us. Masking is optional, but encouraged for everyone’s safety.

The DEVINE COMEDY waltz is this Sunday, March 6. Apologies for getting ahead of myself. (There will be another waltz on March 20.)

Joan K. for Waltz Time

Waltz Time invites you to enjoy a glorious afternoon of dancing in the Spanish Ballroom with DEVINE COMEDY: Steve Hickman (fiddle, harmonica, vocals), Marty Taylor (winds, concertina) and John Devine (guitar, vocals). And the weather gods proffer a treat–temps in the 70s! All this for a suggested donation of $15 per person ($5 for students), cash or check. Beginner waltz lesson starts at 2:45; music from 3:30-6:00. No partner required and all are welcome.
NOTE: Masks are required in the ballroom.

As you may know, Montgomery County recently relaxed its policy on mandatory masking. Since it’s difficult to manage a “socially distanced” waltz, Waltz Time has decided to continue the mask requirement for the safety of all our patrons. This applies to the March 6 and March 20 waltzes. Thereafter, we’ll re-evaluate the mask policy, basing our decisions on Covid case numbers, health directives, and any MoCo mandates. We thank you for your co-operation and understanding.

You’re cordially invited, and encouraged!, to attend the Sunday afternoon waltz on February 20. Music provided by SOME ASSEMBLY: Joe Klausner, Mary Flora, Adam Lee and Donna Moore Boylan. Suggested donation of $15 per person ($5 for full-time students and kids) payable at the door (cash or check). Proof of vaccination and booster required; masks must be worn at all times in the ballroom. Beginning waltz lesson at 2:45. Music from 3:30-6:00 p.m. No partner required and ALL are welcome.

Note: Weather forecast for Sunday looks good!
