What is a Debutante?
A debutante, (from French: débutante , ‘female beginner‘), or deb in the historical sense is a young lady of aristocratic family background who has reached maturity and is presented to society at a formal “debut”.
Nowadays of course the intent of such presentation of young ladies shifted and the focus lies purely on the beauty of a grand ball entry ceremony and spectacular dances by the debutantes.
The entry of the debutantes and their first Waltz are one of the many highlights of a traditional Vienna Ball.
What is it like to be a Debutante?
Please have a look at our short Video about a previous Vienna Ball including scenes from our debutantes.
You will be the highlight of the evening with a breath-taking entry and a magnificent display of group dances like Polka and Waltz. With your smokings, tailcoats and white dresses you’ll stand out through the whole evening.
Yourself and your etheral performance will be admired by all guests.
