New Location:

The Grand Ball Room

Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple,

420 North Washington Ave, Scranton PA

Join us for a delightful evening in the Grand Ball Room at Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple as we travel back in time to re-enact a mid-19th century formal ball. Dance the night away with live music by vintage dance band, Spare Parts, as they play authentic music from the Civil War era including polkas, waltzes, schottische and several reels such as the Virginia Reel and Snowball Reel.

It's fun! It's easy! All dances will be taught, so no prior dance experience is necessary. If you are still a little nervous about dancing, then attend the pre-ball vintage dance workshop held earlier in the day - Click here for dance workshop information.

Period dress or dress blues are admired, but not required.
Formal dress for both men and ladies is required.
Light refreshments will be served during intermission. Cash bar available.
