Apparently, we here in New York aren’t the only ones who know a thing or two about shaking a leg and DNCNG HRD. In a recent blog post by LVHRD/New York City Ballet member and The Winger founder Kristin Sloan, it turns out that Vienna is also a hot spot for getting up just to get down.

At the 66th Vienna Philharmonic ball, held within the Vienna Musikverein, the main auditorium is transformed into a glitzy, red carpeted dance hall.

It is there that the audience is treated to some complicated couples choreography and waltzes. It remains a performance piece until about midnight when the hall breaks out into an all out giant event where everybody can participate and dance. In fact, so everyone can be sure that the performance is over and they’re free to get on the dance floor, the announcer will even say, “Alles walzer!”- German for, “Everybody waltz!”

That sounds pretty clear to us.
