Winter Formal: Viennese Ball


Greetings, Dance Enthusiasts!

As the frosty winds begin to whistle and the snowflakes start to dance, our excitement for the annual winter formal at Ballroom Dance Chicago reaches new heights. This year, we’re taking inspiration from our cherished tradition: our yearly journey to Vienna for an iconic Viennese Ball at the Hofburg Imperial Palace.

A Viennese Dream Right Here in Chicago

Ball Season in Vienna is a spectacle of grandeur, known for its lavish balls and the hypnotic allure of the Viennese waltz. A Viennese ball is not just a dance; it's an enchanting experience that captivates the soul. For those who cannot journey with us to Vienna, we're infusing that same spellbinding magic into the heart of Chicago!

Our 2024 Winter Formal: A Glimpse of Vienna

Our upcoming Winter Formal transcends the ordinary, transforming our beautiful industrial space into a vibrant tribute to a Viennese Ball. While we might not replicate the Hofburg's splendor, our event will radiate elegance through black tie attire, sublime orchestral music, a Viennese waltz class, and an evening steeped in sophistication.

For the Wanderlust-Stricken and the Homebodies

This event serves a dual purpose. For our dancers gearing up for the actual trip to Vienna, consider this a 'dress rehearsal.' Test out your waltz turns, get comfortable in your formal wear, and soak in the elegant ambiance. And for our beloved dancers staying back, worry not; we're bringing Vienna to you! This is your chance to experience some of the magic and allure of the Viennese Ball, without stepping a foot outside our city.

Beyond the Waltz

While the graceful whirls of the Viennese waltz will be the night's star, our Winter Formal is a journey through diverse musical landscapes. Our carefully curated playlist will ensure that every dancer finds their beat, from the classic Viennese Waltz, to Foxtrot, swing and even Salsa!

A Night of Elegance and Celebration

We believe dance is a powerful unifier, a medium to celebrate and transcend. Our Winter Formal is more than an event – it's a heartfelt tribute to our love for dance. Whether you're gracefully waltzing or enjoying a contemporary groove, this night is about unity through the universal language of dance.
