Viennese Balls

No No, not so dirty as you might think.:P

I have always wanted to go to one of the Legendary Balls in Vienna, wondered had anyone been, and if so was it what you imagined?
Also which ball is reputed to be the best

(possibly wrong forum, but mods can move if needed )

I agree, ye cant bate a good Kipling .
But Im reffering to the BALLs, you know, where women dress up in fancy gunas and they dance the Vienese waltz among others.

Ahhhh, the Vienna Waltz = Ball. Gotcha.

You gonna wear your Prince Charming suit?

Sounds like Liberace territory.

I can't imagine anything more excruciating, but vive la difference and all that ould french shíte.

If I were going to this posh ball, I would wear a disney princess dress like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Do Beasts attend these balls?

We had to learn ballroom dancing in primary school

Foxtrot was one

I wonder if other primary schools had to do this

Never been to a Viennese ball, but I was at a masked ball in Florence in 2007 & it was awesome.

Dancing & masquerade ball, jousting tournaments, archery tournaments & a feast to celebrate the end of the celebrations...did I mention the drinking

I read that as Vietnamese balls.
Thought it was another gay bash thread

I'd love to go to one

This means nothing to me.

Oooooooooh Vienna

I've always wanted to go to one. Sadly my husband isn't really a fan of dancing, it would cost a fortune anyway for a dress and tails for him. Not to mention the cost of flights and hotel. One day maybe:)

I think there used to be more Holiday programmes on TV back in the day. I remember seeing this report by Jill Dando and it stuck in my mind for some reason.
