Hello to Wyewood and dance friends

Just to let you know that there is to be a Ball with live music at 
Autumn War/Emprise, on Saturday night after court ... timing depending 
on what "after court" looks like.

AND there will be (6) dance classes all through the day, so you can tune 
up for the Ball and try-out some further, possibly more complex, dances 
in the various dances European Renaissance dance genre.  Note that most 
of the dances for the ball will be taught in one or another of the 
various dance classes during the day.  We have three teachers, each 
teaching two classes, so you can get a feel for different types of 
dances.
