Day of Dance XII

The Barony of Aquaterra and The Canton of Porte de l’Eau invite all gentles to a Day of Dance on February 21, A.S. XXXVIII (2004)

This joint effort is Aquaterra’s first - and Porte de l’Eau’s 12th (!) Day of Dance.

We’ll enjoy an afternoon of instruction led by HLS Rhiannon ap Gwynedd and Master Traheaern ap Ieuan, a light feast, and a festive ball to dance the night away! For those whose feet grow weary there will be room for conversation, a game table or two, and (we hope) a scribal table.

A light buffet feast, prepared under the direction of HE Fiamma the Unquenchable, is available to the first 50 gentles who make reservations with HE Arianne of Falconmoors.

Music for the ball will be provided by Jouissance - An Tir’s (and possibly the Knowne World’s) finest consort of musicians.
