acoustic evening

Lower case letters for lack of amplification.
The atmosphere at the Schubertiade took us back more than a century with the classical music evening in the mansion. Many of the men had tuxes, and the ladies found something decorative to wear.
Viennese Waltz to Robert Wyatt's piano came first, probably too early in the evening for an essentially non-dancing crowd. A contra dance pair were enthusiastic, and others took their ladies around the floor.
Later, after a few more drinks and foolishness (Tableaux Vivant), Landler dancers filled the floor. A mix of set steps to be done in unison kept the interest the way a line dance will.
Next time, a performance might be better for the earlier dance time. Perhaps a Minuet or some short ballet.
