Have you ever gone to a ball?
People nowadays talk and dance together in bars and nightclubs, but visiting balls used to be a huge thing!
Men wear tuxedos and elaborate textiles, while women wear corsets and huge gowns.
We may be in the future, but that doesn’t mean that dancing in ballrooms in enormous ball dresses is obsolete.
In reality, different groups host events to commemorate the heyday of ball dancing.
The Stanford Viennese Ball is one of these noteworthy events.
The Stanford Viennese Ball, according to its website, is a fun Stanford tradition that includes social dancing, live music, shows, and live competitions.
Students returning from the Stanford-in-Austria program established it in 1978.
The students were so struck by the magnificent balls in Vienna, Austria, that they brought ball dancing back to their native nation.
Pupils were overjoyed to be a part of Toyon Hall’s first-ever gathering.
The spectacular night of performance featured 350 pupils.
This tradition has since evolved into an official event that students look forward to.
They are delighted because they will be able to wear their newly pressed suits, gowns, and accessories to the event. What’s not to like about that?
The opening performance is one of the activities that everyone is looking forward to.
This section is overseen by the Stanford Vienna Waltz Opening Committee.
The introductory performance delighted everyone in the room!
It’s intriguing to observe their unity and synchronization.
Males are dressed in black outfits, while females are dressed in white silk dresses and gloves.
There were numerous lifts and quick spins, and before the audience could recoup from the previous leap, the dancers did yet another spectacular series of acrobatics!
This committee’s opening song never grows old.
