New Year’s Eve Ball

Ring in the New Year with Dance, Desserts, and Connection!

Tired of the usual New Year’s Eve plans? Looking for something truly special to share with your partner and create lasting memories? Join us for our New Year’s Eve Ball—a post-dinner event dedicated to dancing, connection, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Our balls are more than just gatherings; they are transformative experiences where attendees can say, “I left everything out there in the ballroom.” These events build a lasting tradition of meaningful, connected, and culturally rich community gatherings. They give everyone a sense of purpose and belonging that lingers well beyond the final note, reminding us how powerful shared experiences can be in shaping our world.

This event is designed for couples seeking a meaningful way to welcome the New Year. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just starting out, this evening will bring you closer to your partner and the community of dancers who join us.

The night features a huge variety of our favorite music, blending swing, quickstep, foxtrot, waltz, and more. We’ll kick off with a group dance lesson—ideal for those new to the floor—and a simultaneous Lindy Hop masterclass with Matthew Sove for more experienced dancers.

As midnight approaches, the floor will open for dancing, where you can create your own magical moments as we ring in the New Year. We’ll toast to new beginnings with nonalcoholic sparkling wine, though you’re welcome to bring your own champagne for a personal touch.

As this is an after-dinner event, we’ll be offering a selection of desserts from Lutz Bakery along with a coffee bar. If you’d prefer wine or beer, feel free to bring your own beverages, as this event is BYOB!

This is more than just a party; it’s a night to reconnect and celebrate together.
