On May 14th, 2011, Dances of Vice presents a mini festival at the historic Morningside Castle (100 Claremont Ave) to celebrate the glory of spring in Dances of Vice: The Secret Garden Spring Masquerade, a dinner theater and spring masquerade ball.
Enjoy a dinner fit for royalty under the Gothic arches and stained glass windows of the stunning refectory hall of the castle to the dulcet sounds of live harpsichord and opera, or enjoy a series of Victorian lawn games in the castle courtyard, followed by a complete Dances of Vice Jazz Age ball.
If you’ve been missing the Dances of Vice Festival, the Spring Masquerade is what you’ve been waiting for. The program will incorporate music, fashion and entertainment from the various historical eras we’ve celebrated since our inception in 2007, as well as a gallery of fine arts vendors.
Details are forthcoming - in the meantime, save the date!
