filled by Giulia & Romeo
Who has never dreamed of participating in a Viennese dance in a beautiful building, in that atmosphere of another era of knights and ladies, elegant in their long dress and their tails? Each year Vienna offers an opportunity for a dip in the Belle Epoque. Not everyone knows this, but every year the Waltz world capital organizes more than 300 dances from January to March entertaining a passionate audience about good music and good taste in a high society style . The balls are housed in the sumptuous palaces in imperial style. The most famous are held in the halls of the Opera and see the participation of international stars and crowned heads, but there are several dances open to the public too, with more reasonable ticket costs ranging from 20 to 100 euros. (You must purchase tickets in advance, also via Internet) So ... if you're going to give you a weekend in a European capital ... and already have the curiosity to discover Vienna, with its elegant streets and buildings, museums and Sacher to taste and compare in the most famous pastry shops ... we believe the ideal is to match the date of your trip with one of the social dances. The ancient tradition of dances dating back to the Imperial age, but today they have added to classical music also modern rhythms to suit all tastes. Some moments of the evening, the initial ones, are reserved for professional dancers: then dances are open and everyone can experience the thrill of hovering on his heels to the rhythm of waltz. The dance of the Emperor, Kaiserball, opened the season of the "Ball" in the magnificent imperial palace, December 31. In the same building you will dance the Hunters, very unique, very expensive and impossible to find tickets, with participants in traditional dress, dance the dance of Doctors and Lawyers. Particularly striking is considered the dance of the Coffeehouse. This event annually attracts about 5000 visitors in the imperial palace and in the ballrooms. Many of the guests conclude the evening to late night at the Cafe Landtmann, where they are transported by a true carriage. The sweeter is the Bonbon Ball, at the Vienna Konzerthaus.
