As you saw, we danced in circles .. on a crowded floor. But no question that it was fun. The evening was truly an enchanting experience. There was a multi-course dinner fit for the emperor. There was regal entertainment: opera in costume, ballet, popular Austrian music most of which the crowd recognized and sang along. How can you not have fun when everyone else was having fun .. even in a different language. It lasted untill 3:00 AM.
The New Years's Eve Ball was truly a night to remember. Dress length is your option. Black-and-white is the old-fashioned standard, of course. But women seemed more comfortable in colored or flowery gowns. Hopefully you'll soon live the dream of a "royal" ball, too.
The music we know (anybody can help): Entrace: Blue Danube Waltz Entrance Hall: Rumba: Amor Slow Waltz: Are you lonesome tonight? Viennese Waltz: Royals exit: Closing: Wiener Blut
You are good dancers, but please don't wear competition clothes to a society ball. This is a black tie event, and there just is no room for creativity in black tie.
Isn't it wonderful that you still feel the magic 2 years later. It's a night that will live with us forever.
Some enchanted evening!!! How wonderful.
You're right. It was a wonderful night. When you have ever danced and it feels right, all the happiness will come through. We wer floaing on a cloud.

Una notte fantastica. Anno nuovo felice.

The Viennese Waltz (before the appearance of the emperor and the empress) was actually "Tales from the Vienna Woods" by Johann Strauss, Jr.
You're right. The Austrian National Library or Hofbibliothek is located in the Hoburg Palace.
The building you showed in the first seconds was actually the National Library

What about stepping on the beat next time? Most couples are grossly out of sync with the music.
