Winter Ball

It's ball season in Graz. Last night we went to one for a high school, but it was nothing like high school dances in the USA. There were hundreds of people, young and old. Parents, friends, teachers, and students all dancing until the wee hours of the morning. We left at 2am and it was still quite crowded.

The theme of the ball was "welcome to the candy shop" (I think things are somehow more hip here when they're in English) To open the ball, the senior class did a Polonaise.
The location was a new building from the 2003 Capital of Culture embellishments to Graz. There was a main hall with long tables and the main dance floor, and two side halls with a disco and a bar. Below is one of the "smaller" side halls.

David and I danced a few times...
... and Ingrid & Alois were dancing up a storm!
