Masquerade Ball 2023 at St Ives, 3 Room Event with a food feast. Sat 23rd September 2023
Illumination Dance welcomes you to our Masquerade Ball 3-Room Event with Food Feast.
To be held at the Corn Exchange at St Ives on Saturday 23rd September 2023.
HOT off the Press:
We are adding to the DJ list. This now includes Mick Smith from Bury Tango who will be DJing in the Tango room....
Dancers rave about our annual New Year’s Eve Eve (NYEE) event on 30th December, every year and how they’d like us to repeat it more often, and we’ve listened.
The Masquerade Ball is an opportunity for you to dress to impress, don your mask, and come join us for an evening of glitz and glamour!
Hosted at the superb, air-conditioned, Corn Exchange in St Ives, you’ll be treated to a 3-room feast of music, and dancing, from 8:00pm through to 1:00 am, with a food feast at 11.00pm
Our 3 rooms offer different genres of music with dedicated DJs. In the Main Hall, your DJ will be Pete Shillito, playing modern jive tracks all night to keep you on the floor all night.
Chris and Dave will be running the Illumination Dance room upstairs for those that want their music a little more expressive and we’re also lucky to have John Howard join us to run the Alt Tango / Blues Fusion room also upstairs.
The Event:
You will be starting as you enter with a courtesy drink, served by our very own meet and greet team,
This will get you on the road to ensure to have a great night of dancing.
And to bring the full NYEE feeling we’re serving our food feast at 11:00pm, where you can replenish your fuel prior to the last 2 hours of dancing.
Tickets are available at an early bird price of £13 per person up until Friday 1st Sept, rising to £16 per person after that.
You can buy your tickets at any DanceXcess/Illumination Dance class nights, freestyles, or workshops. Or, you can scroll down to the bottom of this page and apply for your tickets direct.
We will be making a special offer to people that couldn't attend the NYEE in 2021 due to COVID-19. If you’re in this category don’t worry, we have a list and we’ll be contacting you soon.
