Most of our dancing was done early in the evening.  As the more waltzers took the
floor...the required skill level went up as well.

Contact Regina Macho to purchase tickets to the Kaiserball.  I would highly recommend buying the best ticket you can, arriving on time, and hiring a car for the entire evening.  This way you will not have to wait for a car after the ball.  We did not leave the ball until after 4am...and we were not the last to leave!
