Join your fellow Deco-philes for a mellow, low-key gathering the day after the ball at the historic Catalina Country Club for Cocktails and spontaneous dancing between the tables.

The Weimar era in Germany, from the end of World War One in 1918 to the Nazi takeover in 1933, was a time of social and political ferment, a time of conflict and rapid change, with people rejecting the old conventions and constraints and embracing modernity in art, film, sex and dance. Dance historian Walter Nelson will look at this era through the lens of social dancing, as depicted in the films and art of the time - and dispel some widespread misconceptions reflected in programs like "Babylon Berlin".

Historian Walter Nelson will present a review of social dancing in Paris during the era between the wars when it was a mecca and refuge for artists, unconventional thinkers, and dreamers from all over the world - the era when Paris brought Art Deco to the world in a city where everyone danced.
