Grand Gala @ MIB

The Ferdinandeo palace that is the home of our school was once used for grand parties back in the days of the Hapsburg empire. The hall was more or less returned to its previous use on Saturday night, as it was our annual ball and a good excuse to get dressed up and party.
The ball opened with a waltz. We knew this in advance, so we have been teaching the guys to waltz, which certainly turned a few heads on the waterfront in Barcola the other day! The waltz was 10 minutes, so there was a lot of time to fill. Massi and I shuffled around the floor for a while, then tangoed over to other dancing couples. After a few minutes Max got bored, so Percy galantly took over for the rest of the waltz. Very good fun!
The band were great and it was fun to party all together in our glad rags! The pasta at midnight is a great tradition too - and very welcomed by all of us!
