TNFD Party on February 13, 2024, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Party on Mardi Gras like there is a tomorrow, because that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and you’ve been partying for a week, and you still got some wild in you before you cage the beast. And that tomorrow is also Valentine’s Day, so you could be celebrating a day early. Do you need a reason, or just an excuse? I’m pretty sure that a party at Tuesday Night Folk Dancing will be near the bottom on your list of sins.
This year we will double our repertoire of genuine Carnaval dances from one to two:
The usual tricks of regular dances done to New Orleans and world-wide Carnaval music are to be expected. Perhaps I’ll find a third Carnaval dance by party day? I’m afraid that I will probably never do justice to a Samba, although that certainly should not discourage anyone else from showing us their Samba moves! Here’s how to look like a pro in nine minutes.
Bring your favorite fattening foods for the occasion. Cake is King. You can repent later…
See you with beads on for the party on February 13.

TNFD Party Protocol
- The 1st rule of TNFD Party Protocol is to have fun!
- You are encouraged, but not required, to bring a snack to share of the savory or sweet variety.
- You may bring your own alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage for yourself or to share (there’s not much participation in such at TNFD, except some around the Winter Holidays).
- TNFD will provide reusable plates, cups, and eating utensils (aka plastic silverware). Please be sure to place those in the dirty dishes tub for washing rather than in the trash.
- There will not be any major teaching on party nights, but there may be quick instructions for a party dance. For the most part, I’ll just keep spinning the hits with some breaks filled with background/table music for mingling, munching, and merriment.
- Be prepared for non-standard recordings being used for some of your favorite dances.
