COSTUMES? ONLY IF YOU WISH!
Though costumes are not required, for our Alice in Wonderland Tea Social, many folks dress whimsically in honor of the theme.
(With a reminder to avoid high heels, trains, wings, or anything else that drags, clunks, or sticks out, as these generally interfere with your dancing or the dancing of others. Thanks!)
FRIENDSHIP DANCE SCHOLARSHIPS
Friendship Dance Scholarships are available for all Historical Tea & Dance Society events.
Our community believes that dancing should be available for all. If you or a friend you know would be served by a Friendship Dance Scholarship, please reach out.
