    New Orleans' most amusing host, M. Lestat de Lioncourt, invites you to a joyous Mardi Gras Ball in true Nineteenth century ante-bellum New Orleans style. To protect your reputation, masks are strongly recommended, and suggested attire is period costume (any period - but Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century fashions are especially fashionable!), fantasy Mardi Gras costume, or a fanciful version of period costume. Modern evening dress is perfectly acceptable, however, and there is no dress code for the ball. For the festivities, our host has engaged the celebrated Parisian-American band The Baguette Quartette to play an exquisite mix of waltzes, polkas, schottisches, mazurkas, Les Lanciers and other popular mid-Victorian couple and set dances (both French and English), as well as the ever-popular Congress of Vienna Waltz and the new South American imports Le Tango and La Samba. As usual, all set dances will be briefly taught or called at the ball, partners are not required there will be a pre-ball 19th century dance lesson at 7:00 pm. Our charming host promises to entertain you at intermission with a short performance by the celebrated Le Theatre des Vampires - the most innovative theater company in Paris. Punch and a light French-American snack buffet will be served at the ball.
