Join us for a swinging 1940's party, inspired by the Golden Age of
mystery fiction and the mysteries of Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine Tey, Raymond Chandler,
and Dashiel Hammett.
At 7 pm, there will be a pre-ball workshop in "Fred & Ginger-style" slow foxtrot and
in East Coast Swing.
Formal dancing continues from 8 pm to midnight with the fabulous Franklin Beau Davis and the Brassworks playing Vintage Swing, Romantic Waltzes, and Elegant Vintage Ballroom Dance music.
1940's costume or vintage or modern evening dress is admired but not required.
White tie or black tie optional. Society types, show people, and even private eyes are all welcome!
You working detectives may certainly attend in your suits and trench coats, but leave your "pieces" at home.
This is a classy event!
There will be a full bar outside the ballroom and a light snack buffet in the parlour
