Dance Signage
Since I have only one set of folk ball photos to deal with thus far, here are photos of posters for three balls from Velké Bílovice. The posters were on a public notice board on the main street.
A folk ball, presumably somewhat similar to the one we attended in Brno.
A firemen's ball (like in the movie?!)
A school ball with cimbalom band
New posters are still going up in Prague, but I suspect only the fanciest are showing up in the Metro and on public billboards.

Wow, this is serious stuff! I'm jealous!
Why, are there no nice posters in Moscow? (I suppose I should also photograph Prague posters, but these had that small-town charm.)
Oh, I was more referring to the fact that there is actually a ball season in Prague. I haven't waltzed (or folk danced) in years...
I thought you and Brian had done the polka at some sort of family wedding in the relatively recent past. Perhaps I hallucinate and fabricate. It does happen.
I love the posters! There are no balls here in California, but I do manage to go dancing and refering to one of your past post, I don't have to wait for someone to ask me to dance, we just go whenever we want. Usually we are a group and all dance together, but there are no official dance, just moving to music. I love to dance!
I think in the US (and for that matter elsewhere) the main thing is to know where there will be suitable music and atmosphere for dancing. I rarely know where that would be, so don't go very often, especially since it never seems like I know people nearby to go with. A lot of my friends seem to regard dancing as something to avoid, or that they associate with a hated ex.
Ahh, yes, the Olsen/Zentner family polka requirement. You're right, that did happen two years ago. Yes, Brian did get major brownie points with my mother's family for that one.
