During the classes, German will predominantly be spoken.
At the ball, all calls will once again be in German and English,
however, continuing to use the historical English names for the dance figures.
In doing so, I rely on the figure catalogs of the era.
A list/catalog of the figures will be sent out prior to the event and made available on the website.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
I wish you a smooth participation and much pleasure.
