We're off to see the Wizard at a ball in the glorious capital city of Oz. Come join us in honouring the singular courage of  Dorothy Gale and her intrepid companions as they prepare to embark on their dangerous mission to the West.

Fantasy costume, period costume (Medieval to Edwardian), or a combination of the two is admired but not required and, of course, green attire and costumes inspired by the Oz universe will be very welcome.  Vintage or modern evening dress is also appropriate since the most unusual visitors do occasionally arrive in the Land of Oz.

Our Emerald City band is the Divertimento Dance Orchestra, a vintage dance band known for their elegance, authenticity and versatility.  Dance music for the evening will range from graceful Edwardian ballroom dance music to the Great Wizard’s own favorite Ragtime tunes from his distant native star Amerika. Dance waltzes, polkas, schottisches, reels, contradances,  mixers and other popular turn of the century dances as well as the newer Ragtime one-step, two-step and tango. The Wizard will provide music for every taste!

Knowing the Great and Mighty Wizard’s talent for organizing grand balls, there will also probably be music and dance performances at half-time as well as some DJ dance music at intermission.
