Amazing that all the tradtional viennese ball traditions are mantained, including the fächer polka von Ziehrer vor the entrance procession!

Do you also do the Mitternachts Quadrille?

Would love to see a clip of that!

@habibisalsa Thank you! The ball was started by Stanford students from the Stanford in Austria Program. The waltz and polka that are performed as part of the opening ceremony are choreographed and selected by the choreographers each year. The songs are traditionally selected from the Strauss family. I've posted all of the videos I have from the last few years on my channel.

Sorry, we don't do the Mitternachts Quadrille at the ball. I've never seen it taught at Stanford.

Amazing this entire show i wonder why the speecher speaks in german from time to time.

@LordCoconot The Stanford Viennese Ball is based on the Vienna Opera Ball. They speak German in Austria, thus the German.
