In a recent blog post by LVHRD/New York City Ballet member and The Winger founder Kristin Sloan, it turns out that Vienna is also a hot spot for getting up just to get down.

Anyway, Mika had invited me to audition to be in the show, but I had to decline since I know very little Viennese waltz. But the dancing was so lovely, and I really would love to learn it — so perhaps a goal for next year… Or one better, attend the real thing?!

It's supposedly open to everyone, but you also might have to be on a list?... so, it's one of those things... Anyway, if anyone is interested in crashing the Ball rehearsal maybe I will see you there, ha ha! Okay, so the dress rehearsal is tonight, 8pm at Waldorf.

New York does have its own Viennese Ball every end of January organized by the Austrian community. It used to be held at the Waldorf, it may still. I used to work with an attorney who represented the Austrian Consulate, the Austrian Trade Commission and everything Austrian, and every year, he was invited to the Viennese Ball in New York. You might want to check with the Austrian Cultural Center. Prost! Hello All!

And speaking about pricey... how do dancers feel about their compensation? We know how much athletes are paid.. and rock stars and so on. I suspect that dancers are terribly underpaid... This bothers me terribly. How do you feel about this... Can it change and what would make it more fair? Considering how much training and expense a dancer goes through I sense that this is a very unfair situation.., almost one of exploiting the dancer's love of their art so much that they accept being underpaid for the opportunity to dance... Is this happening subconciously? I wouild imagine these are coveted and pricey tickets.
