Join us for an elegant ball in First Class set in 1912 to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the last evening on RMS
Titanic.
Bangers &
Mash plays beautiful Edwardian waltzes, polkas, schottisches,
set dances, and mixers, and the most sizzling ragtime hits of 1900 -
1912, including one-steps, two-steps, the newly popular tango, and,
of course the traditional PEERS favorites "The Congress of Vienna
Waltz," "The Bohemian National Polka," "Lancers," and "Sir Roger de
Coverley."
There will be a pre-ball dance workshop at 7pm focusing on the "new"
dances of the 20th century, and, as usual, all set dances and mixers
will be briefly taught and called. It is rumored that some of those
charming passengers in steerage will make a guest appearance to
perform and teach some of their own lively dances at intermission.
Suggested costume for First Class passengers is evening dress from
1900 - 1912 or modern evening dress. As always, however, costumes
are admired but not required.
The White Star Line's splendid no-host bar will be open at the event
and a complimentary light snack buffet will be served (Your potluck
contributions to the Captain's kitchen would be most welcome).
