Thanks to all who attended!

Please join the ladies and gentlemen of The Elegant Arts Society in a day of the movement arts of four hundred years ago. Join instructors Patri Pugliese, Mark Millman, and Susan de Guardiola in a series of workshops on the arts of fencing and dancing as practiced in the courts of late 16th-century Italy. Saturday evening, display what you've learned at a relaxed evening party featuring dancing (participatory and demonstrations), a fencing demonstration, delicious period desserts, and conversation.

This is expected to be a small and relaxed event. The cost is $10 per person ($5 for ages 13-21 and under 13 free in the company of their parents.) Advance reservations are DEEPLY appreciated, as it helps us to plan food and drink for the evening. Please note that this is Not An SCA Event, though SCA members are welcome and will recognize two of the instructors as Patri du Chat Gris and Alejandra de Miera in the Society.
