The crown jewel in The Edwardian Ball Weekend shines for an unparalleled night of Edwardian-era Costume Ball meets Edward Gorey celebration! From the moment doors open you are transported to another time amidst the most finely costumed crowd this side of 1910, as elegant ladies and gentlemen take to the floor for ballroom dancing to the tunes of DJ Delachaux. Edward Gorey’s stories come to life with original scoring and choreography by Ball creators Rosin Coven and co-hosts Vau de Vire Society. “Belle of The Ball” Jill Tracy seduces the crowd with her macabre musical beauty, and Edwardian ballroom dance instructors Vima Dance hit the stage for sultry Midnight Burlesque, followed by late-night modern dancing favorites by SF Goth queen Miz Margo. And of course, best of all, the night features your elegant selves! For costume and accessorizing tips visit our "resources" page here.
