SUNDAY DANCE |
|
|
|
|
|
Are you looking for true love? Perhaps a miracle? If so, stop by our
Sunday night dance where we will feature the Princess Bride. Dance the
night away while looking for your prince or princess. Try not to get
lost in the fire swamp. Oh and yeah, miracle pills will be available
for those most in need, for a price of course. Dress in your favorite
period or renaissance costume or just come as the Dread Pirate Roberts.
But remember to behave or we'll set the brute squad after you!
If you'd like to make any suggestions or requests for music, e-mail
Gary at dj@baycon.org.

REGENCY DANCE |
|
|
|
|
|
In a Baycon tradition, Alan Winston will lead Regency dancing. The
English Regency (strictly 1811-1820) the era of Austen Byron, Shelley,
Nelson, Wellington; the setting of Georgette Heyer and Patrick O’Brian
novels, and Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe series, the age of Napoleon -
country dance was the ballroom dance of the time.
One of the piquant pleasures of Regency dancing at the convention is
watching the dancers and their costumes. In addition to the many people
in t-shirts and jeans, you’ll see Miss Elizabeth Bennet waltzing with
Darth Vader, and Fitzwilliam Darcy with Commander Ivanova.
Even if you have never danced before with Allan Winston’s friendly,
clear instruction you will soon be dancing the night away. You needn’t
bring a partner - we’ll swap around after every dance. So you have no
excuse come try something new.
