Atlantian Dance Academie

[Edvard Gayer]

On behalf of L'Academie Atlantienne de la Danse, I would like to thank all 
of the students who took one or more of the four dance classes we offered at 
last weekend's University in Storvik.  Because of your interest, our 
instructors had the pleasure of teaching before a combined attendance well 
in excess of 100 students!  Plans are currently afoot <grin> for a dance 
track to be offered at "June-iversity" in Bordervale Keep...standby for more 
info.

As a reminder, the Academie will be sponsoring it's first-ever event within 
a fortnight.  The Atlantian Dance Symposium (aka "Nothing But Dance") will 
be held on Saturday, February 17th, hosted by the Shire of Isenfir 
(Charlottesville, VA).  This event will feature 15 hours of classroom 
instruction during the day (including instructors from FOUR Kingdoms), and a 
no-holds-barred blow-out all-night-long Ball (with live musicians) that 
evening!  If you've been to events in the past which had promised dancing 
but which failed to deliver, then this event is one you'll not want to miss. 
  We have scheduled NO court, NO tourney, and NO feast, and we own the site 
until well into Sunday, so we'll be dancing until the last Lord and Lady are 
standing!  For more info consult the current =Acorn= or check our online 
event flyer at http://scs.student.virginia.edu/~isenfir/nothingbutdance/

We will be having a business meeting at 10am on Symposium Saturday which is 
open to everyone!  We will briefly discuss what we’ve accomplished, where 
we’re heading, and what we can do better to help bring Atlantia to her feet. 
  This is also an opportunity for Academie members from all over Atlantia to 
place faces to names, and as an added incentive, we will be raffling off 
door prizes!  Please join us.

The Academie is open to anyone who practices, teaches, or who is otherwise 
interested in the art, music, history, reconstruction, or performance or 
theory of period dancing styles.  In short, the Academie is for anyone with 
an interest in period dance, regardless of talent or skill.  To learn more 
about us, please visit our website, which contains information about our 
charter, membership, mailing list and activities, how to join, and our 
quarterly newsletter =The Muse=.  That address is
