Programme:

Experience an evening in ¾ in the breathtaking Sofiensäle in Vienna.
Listen to the wonderful music and marvel at the couple dancing and our charming singer. Our Master of Ceremony will guide you through the evening in viennese style and elegance.
Even if you haven`t yet learned the basic steps of the Viennese waltzes known as „Notwalzer“ or „Pendelschritt“, you can have a quick try of the well known three-step rotation movement during the interval. Our artists will explain the steps of the Viennese waltz to you first of all without a rotation, so you can perfect the correct Viennese waltz rotation after a few attempts.
At the end of the concert you can try out what you've learned straight away.
