La 3ème édition du bal en costume de Chestnut a eu lieu ce dimanche 3 juin 2012 à la Cité Universitaire de Paris dans la salle des fêtes de la Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre.
Chestnut’s 3rd Costume Ball took place on Sunday, June 3, 2012 at the Paris Cité Universitaire, in the main hall of Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre.
Pendant que la jubilante armada de Sa Majesté descendait la Tamise, notre modeste flottille de danseuses et danseurs voguait toute à la gloire de l’éternelle Angleterre, de quadrette en quadrette et de set en set.
Argeers, Confess, Bury Fair, Drive the Cold Winter away, John The Madman, Mulberry Garden, Newcastle, Pleasures of the Town, Scotch Measure, The Rakes of Rochester, The Spaniard, The Whirligig, Whooley and Georgey furent nos barges royales : au son d’un violon, des flûtes et du clavecin, nos frêles esquifs de velours, de taffetas, de dentelles les ont escortées jusqu’à l’embouchure de la 4ème édition. A l’année prochaine !
Bal en costume 3 juin 2012
While Her Majesty’s festive armada was sailing down the Thames, our modest flotilla of dancers contributed in its own way, hands-fours and sets, to the glory of Britain’s long-time traditions.
Two-hands turn
Argeers, Confess, Bury Fair, Drive the Cold Winter away, John The Madman, Mulberry Garden, Newcastle, Pleasures of the Town, Scotch Measure, The Rakes of Rochester, The Spaniard, The Whirligig, Whooley and Georgey were our own royal barges: to the sound of the violon, flutes and harpsichord, our frail skiffs of velvet, silk and lace escorted it down to the mouth of the 4th edition. See you next year!
