Masonic Lodge of San
Mateo
Doors Open:
6:45p.m.
Dance Lesson: 7:00 p.m.
Dancing Begins: 8:00 p.m.

Private eyes, hired guns, sinister collectors, femme fatales, chorus
girls, classy dames with a secret, writers, reporters, and even
innocent bystanders are invited to an evening of vintage ballroom
and Swing dancing at the Noir Club.
Sara
& Swingtime plays hot Swing, cool blues, and romantic
ballroom standards in our tribute to the Film Noir classics of the
1940’s and 50’s. Dance everything from elegant waltzes, tangos and
foxtrots to the hottest Swing and Latin dance tunes played by one of
the San Francisco Bay Area’s classiest and most danceable Swing
bands.
For those of you wanting to learn or brush up on your vintage Fox
Trot and East Coast Swing skills, there will be a pre-ball dance
workshop at 7pm with Persephone, who has the uncanny ability to
teach a newcomer-friendly class that still offers intriguing
variations for experienced dancers! For you insatiable dancers,
Persephone will also DJ a variety of dance tunes at intermission.
Suggested costume is evening dress of the 1930’s, 40’s or 50’s or
modern evening dress, ideally in black, white or shades of gray in
honor of the great black and white classics of the Film Noir genre;
however, this is by no means a requirement: Colors are welcome and
costumes are admired but not required for the ball.
There will be a no-host bar and a light snack buffet (your potluck
contributions will be welcome, as always).
