Dear Dancing Friends,

 The Vienna Branch would like to invite you to our

 20th Jubilee Celebration Dance Weekend from

 from 30th April to 3rd May 2009

in Baden, near Vienna with

 Graham Donald and Susi Mayr as teachers and

Muriel Johnstone and Keith Smith as musicians.

 The weekend will begin with a welcome dance on Thursday evening, followed by three days' dancing in Baden, an attractive Biedermeier town close to Vienna. The programme includes six SCD classes plus optional sessions for Biedermeier Waltz and Highland/Step dancing, as well as a formal ball and a social dance in the evenings.

The venue for the event is the five-star Grand Hotel Sauerhof (www.sauerhof.at). The historic manor house, first mentioned in official records in the 12th century as a "turreted manor with a natural spring and a vineyard", was rebuilt in 1594. It was heavily damaged during the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, and entirely rebuilt in 1810. The hotel's historic wine cellar dates back to 1419.

In addition to our jubilee weekend we are offering the option of booking a whole week's dancing and travelling in cooperation

with the Budapest SCD Group from 24th April to 3rd May.

 This week begins with the

10th Anniversary International Dance Course in Budapest

followed by an organised travel through Hungary and Austria (via Sopron, the Neusiedlersee and Eisenstadt) to Baden with an outstanding program of culture and wine tasting.
