The Annual Quadrille Ball is one of New York City's most elegant white-tie events. It's held in the most extravagant ballrooms in the city such as the ones at the Pierre and Plaza hotels. Full course dinner is served, and dancing is going on until the wee hours of the morning. The highlight of the ball is the Quadrille presentation that is performed by the young men and women that have been rehearsing during the 3 months prior to the ball.
The ball is the benefit for the Germanistic Society of America - a not-for-profit organization that raises money for scholarships.
I danced the Q-Ball in 2008 and it was a great experience. Young people, a great network and tons of of. We have been in the Pierre Hotel and next year it will be in the Plaza Hotel, the most beatiful ball room in New York.
For the 50th anniversary my close friend Simone and I will be travel to NY and celebrate the ball.
