Bridgerton Ball

Dearest Reader,

If you seek an evening of grace, charm, and refined revelry, you shall find no finer occasion than The Bridgerton Ball. Inspired by the grand society balls of the Regency era, this enchanting event invites you to step into a world of elegant waltzes, lively quadrilles, and exquisite company.

At this most distinguished gathering, you shall dance, mingle, and perhaps even make the acquaintance of a noteworthy partner (or two). Whether you come as a seasoned dancer or a curious newcomer, this ball is your chance to immerse yourself in the world of Bridgerton—where every glance holds meaning, and every dance tells a story.

The Evening’s Schedule:

• A “Debutante” Presentation – The evening begins with a ceremonial opening, inspired by the tradition of the debutante presentation. While we take creative liberties with the Regency-era format, this opening moment will highlight the elegance, poise, and excitement of the evening ahead.

• Waltz Choreography Class – After the presentation, we’ll learn a beautifully coordinated waltz routine designed for all levels of dancers. Under expert instruction, we will glide and turn together, creating a seamless display of elegance. The routine will be filmed and shared—a rare opportunity to capture the splendor of the night in motion.

• Social Dancing – Between and after classes, enjoy an open dance floor featuring a mix of Regency-inspired waltzes, lively polkas, and classic ballroom selections.

• Quadrille Instruction – The quadrille was the highlight of every grand ball in the Regency era, a dance of intricate formations, refined gestures, and playful exchanges. If you’ve never danced a quadrille before, fear not! Our instructors will guide you through the steps, ensuring that every guest can partake in this most social of dances.

• Regency Etiquette & Formal Manners – Throughout the night, you’ll gain insight into the art of social graces, learning how to bow, curtsy, and engage in the most refined conversation.

This is more than just a ball—it is a night to be part of a living, breathing work of art, where every moment is filled with music, movement, and a touch of Regency magic.
