The fall colors will be at their peak this weekend for you dancing at the Tivoli Theater in a revitalized downtown Chattanooga.
Come early Friday and stay later on
Sunday, when we will dance more in the theater and then have the usual Dutch
dinner up at the Lookout Mountain Canyon Grill at 5 pm (this could change to a
riverfront restaurant in downtown Chattanooga, such as the Boathouse).
Although the house, studio and barn burned Aug. 3, you still can hike the
farm or Pigeon Mountain if legs need more exercise and stretching. Or just enjoy serious porching
on the hill top with a cup of tea and the autumn mountain views. We have a great menu, TBA. I believe all of you have let our registrar know of your veggie and non-veggie choices, which you will need to stick with unless you can negotiate something with Chef xxxx. He will have his Chef's Soup Pot Friday night. This is not part of the meal plan, and please drop some dollars in his table hat. And expect a tasty treat late Saturday night after the ball is over.
Saturday evening is
the popular and colorful Vintage Waltz Ball, which Richard will prompt and DJ,
and you can expect to see contemporary formal wear as well as elegant period
attire and or eclectic dress from any of the past two centuries of waltzing.
I'm sure all know formal dress is not required but most of us know how much fun
it is to escape from the 21st century for a few hours in our historic
"costumes." Usually it's the penguin look for men and the rainbow look for
women. See photos of period dress from Bob Chapman at the link below or
search for Cincinnati's Flying Cloud Academy web pages or vintage dance photos
in general. Digital photos are
posted to the web page so all your friends and family can share in the fun of your
night out at an imagined, mystical land of mostly 3/4 time
music.
