Viennese Nights:
A Grand Victorian Ball

February 7, 2026 … 6:00 – 9:15 pm

— TICKETS —

Waltz & Such and the SD Vintage Dance Society are pleased to host their 22nd annual beloved tradition: Viennese Nights!
LIVE authentic period music for waltzes, polkas, mixers, and more … by San Diego’s own Grand Pacific Waltz Orchestra, with Mr. Joe Dyke conducting.

Our dance mistress will again be Ms. Joan Walton, an internationally renowned authority on historic vintage dances. She will also teach an all-levels “Survival Waltz” workshop prior to the ball (11-1 pm in the same venue), including the specialty and called dances of the evening. Cost of the workshop is $15 at the door only. Highly recommended for a more enjoyable ball experience, and the best way to meet potential dance partners.

NOTE: This ball is a formal event, with ladies in long gowns and men in suits, tailcoats, or tuxedos. No jeans, tennis shoes, ball caps, shorts, or minidresses, please. Spike heels and floor-marking soles are also not allowed on our beautiful dance floor.

BALL TICKETS*:
$30 advance
$40 at the door
