i finally understand what Jane Austen meant when she said "crowded ball rooms",, it was by no means an exageration 😆

[@Travelbarefeet1]

Ha, YES! :-)

[@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840]

This looks fun I want to learn the Vienna Waltz !

[@Travelbarefeet1]

It is so much fun!!

[@eponymousIme]

Make sure you're in shape! The 1-2-3 stepping can be very fast, and when you add quick turns and spinning on top of that, it's easy to get queasy and disoriented. And don't eat a big meal beforehand! :-)

[@jesquegillyhuddy9943]

It’s so pretty I wanna cryyyyy

[@Travelbarefeet1]

Thank you - yes, Vienna and the Ball Season is so special!

[@zoefang4563]

Mickela you ARE SOOO LUCKY to attend the Viennese ball

[@Travelbarefeet1]

THANK YOU! And yes, I feel incredibly lucky!!

[@bigtiger1964]

Part of the footage is from another ball, the Rudolfina Redoute, where the women wear face masks until midnight. It’s organized by the Rudolfina, one of Vienna’s Catholic fraternities.

Very nice video, but one slight correction- the Austro-Hungarian Empire ended in the early 20th century. It began in the 19th century.

[@petergibson2318]

28th June 1914......the curtain falls on the wealthy Empire in all its glory. Only the glorious Palaces remain.

[@SmileyLashawn]

Miss the video....Thank YOU 💕💕💕💕

[@Travelbarefeet1]

YAY! Glad we're bringing them back :-)

[@joekerr9197]

Austria-Hungary fell apart at the beginning of the 20th century (following the WW1), not 18th century. Austria-Hungary didn't even exist until 1867/8...

[@johndanish1b579]

Gosh this is so nice!

[@Travelbarefeet1]

Yes, it is stunning!

[@user-wj8ky7su2o]

Very good video
Definitely deserves more views!!!

[@Travelbarefeet1]

Many thanks!

[@justsayinghey2you]

About half of the footage looks like its coming from the Rudolphina Redoute, not the Elmayer Ball, what would you say is the biggest difference?

[@yolandavanhollstein8438]

[@maritzaschreiber2875]

[@shihabuddin1498]

I want to go there

[@Travelbarefeet1]

Vienna is a magical place - I hope we can travel there soon!

I went to Vienna in 2018 and attended two waltz balls at the Hofburg: the Aertzeball and the Jaegerball. I had a dance partner for both balls and danced until balls ended at 5:00am. It was an experience I will never forget. The Fledermaus Quadrille IS fun, and I learned it on TH-cam...all 6 parts. Be sure to learn the chant everyone sings in Part 6, which makes it twice as fun. I had intended to return to Vienna this year to try two or even 3 more balls but the pandemic ruined my plans. Oh, well...Alles Walzer.

Due to bridgerton

[@michaelkingsbury4305]

My friend Philippe Jordan is the conductor of the Stadt Oper, and does the operable every year on New Year's Eve. He never gets to dance with his partner Thor.

[@shimranshrestha2010]

Who is here after watching Bridgerton?

[@Travelbarefeet1]

I love that, thanks for coming here! And love Bridgerton!!

"elmayr ball" you mean the dude who admitted to not being able to dance... -.-"

[@marshagarwood2076]

Austrian Hungarian Empire collapsed at the end of WWI early 20th century.

[@jasioui]

dancing is one thing.... Opernball is somthing different. old people doing old things withe young people....and NO. They dont love it.

[@Kate0603]

Who doesn’t love what? I debuted, as did my daughter, at age 17, and we all loved it. I still go every year, and there are hundreds of people in their 20s who love the balls. I am willing to bet money that you have never been to a ball, and are just badmouthing something you don’t even know.
