Combination ticket blokweekend + ball

At the blokweekend, you will get to spend three days practising two brand new dances together with other attendees. During this intense little bootcamp you will learn the Mazurka and the Pavane (LPR) from start to finish and by the end, you will be ready to dance them at our upcoming ball!

Although dance training is the main focus of the blokweekend, you will also get to spend three days in a beautiful location in the middle of the forest and the fens. You will get sevral breaks throughout the weekend, during which you can take a stroll through this beautiful piece of nature. Maybe you prefer to stay in and play games with your fellow dancers instead? It's all up to you!

We will take all our meals together (they are included in the ticket price), so that should provide you with more opportunities to socialise a little. What are you waiting for? The blokweekend awaits!

Location

Het Buitencentrum Overasselt

int Walrickweg 9

Date and Time

Friday April 19th through Sunday April 21st 2024.

Arrival on Friday starts at 3pm and we will leave on Sunday 4pm at the latest.

If you can't make it all three days, there are 2-day tickets available at a slightly discounted price.

After learning new dances at the blokweekend or during dance class, what better place to show off your skills than at the annual LPR Ball? Join us for an unforgettable night of dance and fun!

Put on your dancing shoes, slip into your best dress or suit (court dancing costumes always welcome, but not required!) and get ready to dance the night away!

This year's theme is Royal Hovels. The King of Précieusia is in need of a new home. Can you help him design one?

Warm-up

Before the ball starts, you can come and practise a few dances with us. We will be teaching a few of them, including most of the dances on this year's dance card.

Gala breakfast

For those who simply cannot get enough, the day after the ball proper, there is the gala breakfast. We will dance anything we want to, including dances from other associations while we have "breakfast". If we're honest about it though, it's really more of a brunch; late nights, early mornings and all that...

Pancakes

We're not sure why, but some people never seem to get tired during the ball weekend. If you happen to survive to this point, you are welcome to enjoy some home-made pancakes with us. More details about this afternoon as well as the address will be sent to you in an email as we approach the ball weekend.
