Our popular
Saturday night Halloween-themed Masquerade Ball! Spooky decorations, enchanting refreshments, masks and costumes admired but not required! Admission $25, students/low income $15, no advance reservations needed.
The Masquerade Ball is the second in our annual series of four balls which take place throughout the academic year. The difficulty of the dances at our balls increases as the year progresses. Each ball builds upon the skills learned in the previous one making it possible to start as a beginner at the Netherfield Ball and finish as a confident, successful dancer at the Jane Austen Ball.
Caller

Ithaca caller and singer Pamela Goddard has an engaging, confident and witty style. Her clear and patient teaching make her popular with our dancers.
Band
Sister Haggis
Eileen Nicholson Kalfass - fiddle, Jane Knoeck - piano, accordion
Western NY duo Eileen and Jane, are familiar to Rochesterians but also well known traveling musicians who play all over the country. Here they get together as good friends to play the tunes they love and give us a great time. We’ve known Eileen, daughter of long-time Syracuse caller Bob Nicholson, since she was a lass. Now playing nationally as a member of the bands Seaglass and Continental Drift, we always enjoy her lilting fiddle style. Jane is a founding member of The Groovemongers, and Montage, as well as a number of great combinations including Riverbend and New Brew.
