Yuletide Ball has it’s New Year’s Eve Gala ($160/person) tonight; Dan Van Bey may have one more ticket with our group, and the Yuletide folks may have more for general seating.
The Gala is one big New Year’s Eve party with lots of ballroom dancing, some decent food and possibly some professional dance shows. It’s probably not worth the admission price unless you are a dancer and know several other dancers who are going; in which case you’ll make your own party like we do. Gala starts at 7pm and runs until they throw us out of the ballroom well after midnight in the new year.
There are competitions and showcase recitals most of the day each day for the next several days, and even a few dance workshops too for students of ballroom dance. I will be dancing with Michele during session 1 “Pro/Am & Student/Student American Rhythm” Thursday, New Year’s Day, from 7pm until about 10:30pm (only a few heats/entries in there somewhere, probably towards the end). I will be dancing again with Michele and with Ruth during session 2 “Pro/Am & Student/Student American Smooth” on Friday from 1pm through 4:30pm (only a few heats/entries in there, probably spread out).
See the Yuletide Ball website for additional information, prices, schedules. Parking at the JW Marriott is difficult, we usually drive around the block and pay at one of the numerous parking garages in the theatre district along 13th street Southbound, some have indoor access to the hotel. Valet is pricey but available at the 14th street Northbound entrance to the hotel.
