Welcome to the 1860's History Ball Dance Information blog where you can find out about upcoming Balls and other events. I have learned some new dances while Civil War Reenacting that I am eager to share with you at the upcoming Balls.
Did you know that... to protect the integrity of these History Balls, they are never advertised to the general public, and the only people you see at a Ball have been invited by someone who already attends? The only way that our Civil War Balls continue and grow is if our regular attendees invite new people!
I've been calling dances for other events besides our Grand Balls, and I thought you might enjoy some photos and youtube videos of the events, so I've added a few on this blog for you to see.
These events are for you, and I am happy to host and call events when and where they are desired. These 1860's History Balls began as a ministry to homeschooling families. We will continue to serve those families and our other families who have attended along with their invited guests. If you have friends who are like-minded and who would be happy to abide by the standards and goals that are set for these events, then you are welcome to invite them to come.
Yours,
Mrs. Debra Newby
