Last night we enjoyed a dance at the Army-Navy Country Club in Arlington. The dance was put on by the Capital Cotillion Club, which is one of the ballroom dance club we belong to. The ANCC is a great dance venue with a very large dance floor with plenty of space to move around in. The band was the Helmut Licht Orchestra. Helmut plays at several of our other venues, but usually as a trio or quartet. With all the space at ANCC he can bring in more players which adds a lot to the ambiance of the evening.
Our dinner dances are usually cocktails and dinner followed by 3 hours of dancing. We get plenty of exercise to work off the calories. The band usually take two breaks during the evening. During the first break last night we had a Quickstep showcase by Susan Cox and her partner. Susan is a local dance instructor and put on a really nice show last night.
Doris and I had a surprise last night. One of the guest last night was our Argentine Tango instructors from years ago. Her name is Anya and she was part of the Tango Duo. We took Argentine Tango lessons from the Tango Duo for a while before our first trip to Argentina. We had seen her one other time last year when she was a ballroom dancer at the Little Theater of Alexandria production.
