Do not sign up for this dance if you cannot be on time.\nPlease carefully read the dress code and etiquette guidelines below.\n\nDress Code:  \nWe do not want to have to send anyone home\, so please\, follow the guidelines.  If you are having trouble\, reach out and ask questions or ask to borrow something. \nMasks are not required. \nBoys: \n\nCollared shirts (button-up or polo)\, long sleeve or short sleeved.\nSlacks\, NO jeans\nClosed toe shoes: Absolutely no flip flops\, socks or bare feet.  Sneakers/running/basketball shoes are not recommended\, but you can wear them if you must.  It is hard to dance when your shoes are super sticky/grippy on the dance floor.  If you don’t have dress/dance shoes\, Converse/Keds type shoes work well.\n\nGirls: \n\n Skirts or dresses knee length or longer. (This means touching the top of the knee\, regardless of leggings.) If there is a lace overlay\, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to touch the knee.\nLeggings or shorts are required if the skirt rises past the knees while twirling.  It’s a good policy to wear dance pants under your skirts regardless of length.\nNo low-cut\, strapless\, backless\, or halter tops. Straps need to be at least one inch wide. No exposed cleavage or bra straps.  If you aren’t sure\, wear a cardigan over your dress.\nNo pants (other than leggings under your skirt or dress).\nClosed toe shoes: Absolutely no flip flops\, socks\, or bare feet.  Cross trainers/running/basketball shoes are not recommended\, but you can wear them if you must.  It is hard to dance when your shoes are super sticky/grippy on the dance floor.  No sling back shoes.   If you don’t have dress/dance shoes\, Converse/Keds type shoes work well.  If the girls want to wear heels\, please bring a second pair of shoes that will be more comfortable in case they need/want to remove their heels because you can’t be dancing barefoot.\n\nBasic Dance Etiquette.  Please go over this with your dancers: \nFor Boys: \n\nAsk a variety of girls to dance.  They are waiting for you to ask.  Don’t drag your feet in getting around to asking someone\, and don’t spend the evening standing around.  It’s not fair to the girls.  The time goes by quickly!\nYou may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.\nOffer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor\nWhen the dance is over\, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.\n\nFor Girls: \n\nIf a boy asks you to dance\, graciously accept his offer.\nIf you stand with your friends in a closed circle\, it is hard and nerve wracking for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.\nPlease limit the amount of dancing you do with your girl-friends and only do it if there are no boys available to dance with.  The boys don’t dance with each other and when the girls are just goofing around with each other on the dance floor\, the boys end up standing around not knowing what to do.\n\nFor Both: \n\nEvery dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations.\nNot everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime.\nA Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance.  The boys are to do the asking unless we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance.\nIt is okay to sit out for a dance\, but remember\, we are here to dance.  This is a special occasion\, and there will be time for goofing around\, chatting and socializing another time.\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Of Winters Past... An English Country Dance Formal
DESCRIPTION:Of Winters Past… \nThis dance is a little different from the others hosted by ACHEV. For those of you who are new\, English Country Dance (ECD) is social\, or group dancing in sets or lines. The height of popularity was during the Regency Era\, but it is just as wonderful today as ever. To learn more about English Country Dancing in general\, visit the Santa Barbara Country Dance Society\, or sbcds.org. Below are some pictures from a movie based on Pride and Prejudice. \n    \nACHEV hosts this dance for the private homeschool community: ACHEV\, CASA\, SBCHI and TPCS students 6th grade and older\, including graduates\, and parents. Although helpful\, no prior experience necessary\, as dances will be taught and called. This dance requires some paying attention to learn and follow instructions in order for everyone to get the most enjoyment out of each dance. Mature and motivated students as young as ten may attend at the discretion of their parents.  \nGary Shapiro will be the Dance Master. Live music! \nSaturday\, January 26\, 7-10pm\nAt the Poinsettia Pavilion in Ventura\, located at 3451 Foothill Road in Ventura\n$15 per person ($30 family maximum); parent chaperones are free\nPlease bring a finger-food to share. Water provided. \nParents are encouraged to participate in this dance. Many do every year. Parents\, who chaperone\, attend for free. If you wish to invite a guest\, you need to contact Anita Schneider\, at schneiderab@verizon.net or text/call 805-490-0154\, in advance. Please remember it is your responsibility to carefully read dance notices to be sure your students and guests are prepared. \nAll dancers under 18 need a parent chaperone. If you are unable to stay\, please make arrangements for another responsible parent to chaperone in your place. (Parents\, if you do stay\, please consider dressing up and joining the dancing!) Also\, mature and motivated dancers as young as eleven years old are welcome as well. Parents\, you are responsible for deciding if your younger children are ready to participate. \nFormal Attire ~ Of Winters Past… is a time period formal event. Era costume will be admired\, but not required! Regency Era was the height of ECD\, but honestly\, any era from medieval forward works\, as ECD has been loved for centuries. That means Renaissance\, Regency\, colonial\, Victorian\, even 1900’s are all fair game! Just have fun with it. \nModest historical costumes are encouraged\, otherwise formalwear\, please\, such as vests and ties for the boys\, and long formal dresses for the girls. The ACHEV dress code for dances applies. Please visit and carefully read the full dress code: ECD Formal visual dress code. It includes examples of Regency Era attire as well as illustrations to clarify the minimum requirements of the dress code for dances. \nStudents arriving at the dance without proper attire will be asked to call a parent to bring suitable clothing or return home to change. Please be gracious in accepting the decision of the person in charge. \nFor period dress ideas\, watch a movie based on a Jane Austen novel (Pride and Prejudice\, Persuasion\, Sense and Sensibility\, Emma) and start visiting thrift stores. Some of the gowns from the movies are quite simple – have fun with it! Fabric stores often have historical sewing patterns\, if you are inclined to sew. \nTo volunteer\, please sign up here. Thanks! Of Winters Past 2019 volunteers \nFor inquiries\, please contact Anita Schneider at schneiderab@verizon.net. \n
