Last night we joined Kathy and Randy for the 12th Annual American Red Cross Ball. The theme for this ball was Hero's and Villains. We didn't get any costumes ourselves but we did see a lot of Captain America and Super Woman.
The band was the Fabulous Bel Airs. We've heard them before and they put on a great show. There were a lot of swings and hustles, but they played a variety of other styles too. This was a well attended event at the Heritage Hunt Club. Dancing is the best way I know of to give to a worthy cause.

Swingin' Band
Friday we danced to the Mount Vernon Swing Band at the Holin Hall Senior Center. This is a great band like the big bands of the swing era. They have an extensive song list and play different tunes each time we see them. Not only do they play a lot of different songs, they play them all well.
Janet and Jeff joined us at the dance. This was their first time at Holin Hall. The band plays on the third Friday of most months. They are starting to get a large following at Holin Hall. I guess the word is getting out. The price is right too. It's only $4 to dance from 7:30 to 9:30 PM.

Tango Buenos Aires
We went with Kathy and Randy to a terrific tango show at the Hylton Performing Arts Center last night. It was titled "Tango Buenos Aires Fire and Passion of Tango." This was the first time we had gone to the new Hylton Performing Arts Center. It's a very impressive venue. We're glad to have another place where we can enjoy live theater and other performances.
The Tango Buenos Aires dance company has been touring since 1987, traveling throughout the Americas, Europe and the Far East. We always enjoy the music of Argentine Tango. This company has a 5 piece ensemble with the piano, guitar, violin, double bass, and of course the bandoneon. It also features 5 couples who can really kick up their heels. We have seen several tango shows at the Lisner Auditorium and in Buenos Aires. This show definitely had all the precision and excitement of any that we have seen.

Officers Club
Last night we enjoyed an evening of dancing and dining at the O Club on Ft Belvior. The band was Night Watch. They play a lot of swings, foxtrots and ballads. The O Club has a buffet dinner and dancing from 1800-2100 (6-9 PM) every Wednesday. It has gotten to be our regular date night and we are there almost every week. Sharon and Paul joined us and we had a good time.
