Dance and Music


Dance and Music are growing activities at Panteria.

The Moonlight Ball


We are fortunate that Camp Farnsworth provides us with at least two venues for dancing   One is the Dining Hall and the other the Program Building.  Therefore, we are planning another glorious Moonlight Ball

We are fortunate to again have Lady Mickel von Salm of Malagentia as the Dance Mistress at this Year's Panteria Moonlight Ball.   She is planning a mixture of English Country Dance, French. Italian Renaissance, and possibly a Russian Dance.  There will be some instruction by the Terpsichorean Masters at Panteria. Two introductory dance classes are planned and there will be some instruction (more of a talk through and reminder) at the ball.

Troubadours attending Panteria are encouraged to join the dance band to provide the music for dancing.   However, all Musicians planning to participate, are asked to contact our Dance Mistress, Lady Mickel von Salm so she may make as many arrangements (pun intended) for the ball as she is able.  She may be contacted at  ladyfreegate@ysacoriver.net

And for those who are interested in reviewing or maybe even learning the dances there is a compendium of directions at   Panteria XVII Moonlight Ball Directions. This is a beat by beat description of the dances.

If you would like a more easily-carried booklet of dance directions, print off the  Dance_Booklet_Panteria_XVII.  Print it back-to-back on four sheets of 8.5 x11 paper, cut it along the solid horizontal line, assemble, and sew or staple along the dashed vertical lines.  Then fold and Voila! - a booklet.  It must be noted the booklet contains reminders (a la Playford) and not full beat by beat descriptions of the dances.

Music

All Musicians and Dance Masters are cordially invited to help with the Panteria Moonlight Ball. However, all Musicians planning to participate, are asked to contact Lady Mickel our Dance Mistress, (See contact information above.) so she may make as many arrangements (pun intended) for the ball music as she is able.

In addition, there will be plenty of opportunity for musicians to get together and play throughout  the day. The rooms and times have been set aside for these musical activities. One of  places where musicians would be particularly welcome is the dance classes.   The time and place for the dance classes has been published on the A&S Page.

Musicians will also have a chance to perform at the Coffeehouse on Sunday evening, following Court.  There is more information about The Coffeehouse here.
