Here are some guidelines for your attendance at the Science Ball (Rathaus):
• The dress code in Rathaus is more flexible compared to Hofburg Imperial Palace. For specific details, please refer to the above official website.
• I recommend you arrive around 8:00-8:30 PM, as the opening ceremony is scheduled to start at 9:00 - 9:30 PM.
• There usually is a queue at the entrance of Rathaus since approximately 1000 - 1500 guests are expected to attend the Ball.
• Upon your arrival, head to the cloakroom to leave your coat and larger bags and change from walking shoes to dancing shoes.
• The opening ceremony takes place in the Festsaal which is located on the first floor. The room will be very crowded, try to get a spot in the front row for a better view.
• When the opening ceremony ends (around 10:00 - 10:30PM), the other rooms in the palace will open. In each room a different rhythm will be played (e.g. rock n'roll, jazz, disco music etc.).
• Argentine tango begins around 9:30 PM in the Stadtsenatssitzungssaal that is located also on the first floor. A room is reserved exclusively for Argentine tango for the entire evening.

FAQ:
1. Are these events Tango Festivals, Marathons, or Encuentros?
No, these are Viennese Balls, a tradition dating back to 1815. Viennese Balls have been held annually since then, with only two cancellations in history: during World War II and the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. In addition to Argentine Tango, can I dance the Viennese Waltz or other rhythms?
Yes, Viennese Balls typically feature 10 to 20 halls, each offering a different rhythm or style of dance.
3. Once I purchase a ticket, can I enter any hall?
Yes, once you’re inside the venue, you’re free to explore any hall and dance to whatever music you prefer, from the Viennese Waltz to Argentine Tango, swing to disco. Check the ball’s program for more details.
4. What is the dress code?
The dress code is very strict. Please refer to the website to ensure you meet the requirements, as entry could be denied otherwise.
5. Do I need to join with a partner?
No, you can come on your own. In the tango room, couples change after every tanda, and cabeceo is not required.
6. Can I rent a tuxedo or frac?
Yes, Vienna offers many places where you can rent them. A quick online search will help you find many options. We recommend booking in advance, as tuxedos and fracs are in high demand during the ball season.
7. Do I need to reserve a table?
In the tango rooms, a number of seats is available. However, if you prefer to enjoy the Main Hall or any other marvellous room in the Palace, you may want to reserve a table.
8. What about Balls and Argentine Tango?
Argentine Tango was introduced to Viennese Balls in 2017, marking its debut after 200 years. However, Argentine Tango became a part of Buenos Aires Balls already at the beginning of the 1900.
