Fête des rois à Dark Horse

Anthea and Seamus, crowned queen and king at the Cercle Français de Belfast's annual fête des rois.


The evening, which had attracted a full house was animated very professionally by Vanessa Franchetti and her accomplished team of dancers and musicians.
Her team also provided the home-baked galettes shared among participants and helped down with either a glass of wine or cider.
The event included dance demonstrations including an impromptu Can Can from the recently crowned Anthea and Seamus.  Here is a short video of a set piece performed by four dancers.  The video was  taken by Michael and gives some of the atmosphere of the evening.


Thanks Michael, and everyone else who came along.
