Gaskell Ball

The Gaskell™ Ball is a formal Victorian Ball, held in Oakland at the Magnificent Oakland Scottish Rite Center. The ball began in 1979, and will have its next event on December 28th, 2024. 

The ball draws hundreds of impeccably dressed attendees, as you can see in our videos. At the ball, we dance various dances from the Victorian era, such as the Waltz, the Polka and the Mazurka. In addition to the couples dances, there will be a few set dances (English Country Dances), and one circle dance.

There are classes the day of the ball. The first is in the afternoon at 3pm, for a full 2.5 hour class, and then, right before the ball there is a flying 30 minute class is Waltz, Polka and Schottische. If you don't know what these dances are, check out the videos on this channel!
