Lovely and magical - love these Viennese Ball opening waltzes, can’t get enough of this!

[@tombrady6608]

I have been visiting this event via youtube for many years. Always delightful, astounding, this year has been the best yet--I say that every year. I can't wait to tell my friends and acquaintances about this tradition and guide them to the SVB 2016 Opening Committee Waltz. Congratulations!

So pretty! The Kaiserwaltz is one of my favourite pieces, and I've always wondered how it's supposed to be danced! What a coordination! And those dresses, like the insides of an old oyster shell, very pearly, very flowy, I wish I could wear them, with maybe the tailed coat over it, but unfortunately most dresses are tailored for women so I'd have to have one custom tailored for my bodyshape (cis dude) halas :/.

I was touched in Korea.

Which arrangement of the song "Kaiserwalzer" was used here? I need an edited version with the main melody like this one.

Very unorthodox ^^ At least they seem to be having fun.

Sorry, harrumph II, the music is bastardized, not the real waltz, more a cut and paste as needed.

[@ChrisGriswold]

John Kilbourne these comments are derivative

[@johnkilbourne1059]

OK, a harrumph, but the men are still not doing the correct Viennese step, they are just running around. This flip seems substantially safer than the technique used in 2015, less risk of falling. Probably not the greatest idea to try at the local senior center, no matter how safe.
