Ye Gaskell Occasional Dance Society sponsors Victorian ballroom dances several times a year. There are afternoon dance lessons and refresher lessons before the dance. Formal dress.

Brassworks is a live brass band led by Frank Beau Davis. They sound much better in person than in this clip.

Scottish Rite Center in Oakland has a beautiful ballroom for this event.

So hard to find a really large event like this where it can actually be considered a ball as opposed to a dance with only so many people in attendance. Looks like everyone is having a blast too, much more relaxed and much more room on that floor for slow movers.
