Balls in Vienna
Whoever wants to dance the Viennese waltz in most authentic atmosphere and float on the dance floor to the most famous waltz melodies, should not fail to attend a ball in Vienna. There is an unbelievable amount of important and less important balls in Vienna every year, which makes it hard to develop a really fully complete Viennese ball calendar. This is why the walzerkurse.at team decided to publish a limited list of balls on this page, including only the most famous Viennese balls - and to add links to some other ball calendars which might include balls that do not appear on this page. If you are looking for information about a specific ball and cannot find it either on this page nor on any of the calendars listed in our links, then the best thing to do is to ask one of the Viennese dancing schools.
