On Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, the Cotillion Dance Club will present the annual Black and White Ball. This dinner dance will be held at the Cottonwood San Tan Ballroom. The dance is a formal affair (tux for the gentlemen and gown for the ladies). The reception begins at 5:45 p.m. with live instrumental music provided by Angelo Valente and will feature champagne, imported and domestic cheese with crackers, and crab Rangoon hors d’oeuvres.
The dinner begins at 6:45 p.m. and will feature a salad of mixed spring greens served with blue cheese or raspberry vinaigrette dressing on the side and warm rolls and butter. The entrée selections are prime rib — prime rib of beef served with au jus and creamy horseradish or halibut Oscar — halibut filet topped with crabmeat, fresh asparagus, and Béarnaise sauce, both served with potatoes au gratin and asparagus, and apple pie for dessert. The dietary meal is pan-seared chicken breast with a lemon caper sauce, roasted red potatoes and asparagus, with flourless chocolate cake for dessert.
We will be featuring live music by the Swingtips in a special configuration that includes a female vocalist. The band begins their first of three dance sets at 7 p.m.
