2018 NSAL Viennese Ball
A unique tradition of the NSAL-DC Chapter is its annual Viennese Ball held at the Cosmos Club in one of Washington DC’s most beautiful ballrooms. The evening begins with a reception and candlelit dinner followed by the Grand March to commence waltzing into the night to live orchestral music.
NSAL competition winners perform for the crowd during a respite from the dancing and the Austrian Ambassador or his representative mingles with the crowd as our invited guest.
Please enjoy photos from our 10th Annual Viennese Ball held on November 10, 2018. We look forward to again hosting this popular event in 2024.
