Друзья, а вот и программа бала 17 мая!
Мы наполнили ее танцами, которые хотели бы станцевать с вами, но так как и время для бала, и наши силы и возможности ограничены, нам придется отказаться от некоторых танцев по ходу бала - зависимо от того, кто придет на бал и как будем успевать танцевать. А также от ваших пожалений - по списку танцев можно высказываться. Только просим не добавлять к нему новых (признаемся, и так пришлось, скрепя сердце, не включать некоторые).
