About this Event

The Grandest Night of the Season

The Viennese Ball is the highlight of Chicago Ball Season—the night where we gather in our most refined attire, waltz with effortless grace, and share in the traditions that have defined ballroom culture for centuries.

Viennese balls have always been more than just dance events—they are moments of collective beauty, shared traditions, and lasting memories. This is not just an evening of dancing but a living, breathing tradition that we create together.

So, bring your best self, let the music carry you, and step into a night you’ll never forget.


Evenings schedule


  • Viennese Waltz Class – This dance is the heartbeat of any Viennese ball. We’ll begin the evening with a class designed to help dancers of all levels glide across the floor with effortless grace and exhilarating speed. Whether you’re new to the dance or refining your technique, this class will prepare you to waltz the night away.
  • Quadrille Instruction – A highlight of any ball season, the Fledermaus Quadrille transforms the ballroom into a whirlwind of movement. It begins in neat formation but quickly unravels into a joyful, theatrical blur of laughter, spinning partners, and playful energy. If you’ve never danced a quadrille before, this is your moment to experience the tradition that electrifies Viennese ballrooms year after year.
  • Social Dancing – Following the classes, the night is yours to dance. The floor will be alive with the rhythms of Viennese waltz, English waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, and swing. Every dance, every conversation, and every gesture contributes to the collective elegance of the evening.
  • Viennese Coffee & Confections – No Viennese ball is complete without a proper coffeehouse moment. We’ll be serving a selection of brews to keep dancers refreshed, alongside a spread of Austrian-inspired pastries, including Sacher Torte flown in directly from The Sacher Hotel in Vienna. Additional sweet treats from Lutz Bakery will round out the evening’s indulgences.
