Just when you thought it was safe to burnall your polyester pantsuits, along comes aninvitation to the Jete Society's Dance Party withthe words, "Polyester Required" printed acrossit. The 300 enthusiastic supporters who turnedup at the French Embassy on November 16 tookthe dress code very seriously. The only thingswider than their smiles were their lapels. TheWashington Ballet dancers not only performedseveral steamy dance numbers throughout thenight, but they also made sure that everyonewas out on the dance floor grooving to the 70stunes that played until the wee hours. And yes,everyone did the locomotion.
