Saturday, October 25, 2025, 8:00-11:00pm
Pre-Ball workshop 2:00-4:00pm
Hamden, Connecticut

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Please join us for A Bridgerton Masquerade, a masked ball in the spirit of the Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte television series! Enjoy dances in the mode of those shown on the series to the music of a live string trio and light refreshments in a fanciful historical style. Join us in fantastical or historical costume of the period 1760-1825, and be sure to wear a mask!

This is a dance-focused event: the primary activity will be dancing, dancing, and more dancing. Prep classes will be held in Middletown and North Haven, Connecticut in the weeks before the ball (September 28-October 22) as well as the afternoon of the ball itself; see the Dance page for details and registration information. All dances will be taught at the ball by our professional dance caller, Susan de Guardiola, but advance practice will make the evening go more smoothly!

The base ticket price includes the prep class on the afternoon of the ball, the evening of dancing and light refreshments, and a souvenir dance card. Earlier prep classes in Middletown and North Haven must be registered and paid for separately. Professional photography packages with M. G. Norris Photography are available for an additional fee.

Ticket sales are strictly limited to 50 people so we have ample room to dance!

This event is intended for adults, but young people ages 13-17 may attend in the company of a parent or guardian and should dress appropriately to the event.

We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!

Your gentle hosts,
Heath Herel & Susan de Guardiola
