Step into an afternoon of timeless elegance!This season, we invite you to dance beneath the gilded chandeliers of an exquisite Baroque ballroom, nestled within a palatial residence in Brussels, just a short stroll from the Parc du Cinquantenaire. Easily reached by public transport, with parking nearby, it is a setting worthy of the finest occasions.
On select Sunday afternoons, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the grand salon opens its doors for an afternoon of graceful social dancing. Your experience will include 2 × 45 minutes of guided instruction — the first 45 minutes devoted to the romantic waltz, followed by time to dance and practice what you have just learned, and then a second 45-minute session exploring a different dance, each chosen to complement the season’s mood.
On 25 January, the second dance will be the Quickstep — a wonderfully cheerful, buoyant dance known for its lightness, joyful energy, and playful charm, and one often enjoyed at the Wiener Ball in Brussels (next edition: 7 February 2026).
Guests are invited to honour the spirit of this historic venue with attire befitting the occasion: ladies in flowing gowns or elegant long skirts, gentlemen in refined tenue de ville (jacket and tie or bow tie). To preserve the century-old parquet floors, please wear leather-soled shoes; delicate stilettos cannot be accommodated.
Participation is €30 per person per Sunday. Upon verification of your registration and payment, the exact address of this distinguished residence will be discreetly communicated by email.
An afternoon here is more than a dance — it is an embrace of history, beauty, and the art of refined living.
You can come alone or with a partner.
