Optional Steampunk workshop: The Chess Dance and other wonders: 1:15 for 1:30-3:30, $8, Uniting Church Hall, Elizabeth St, North Hobart, opposite State Cinema. If you’d like to learn or practice some of the dances beforehand, especially the Chess Dance, or just enjoy some further dancing, come along.
