Quadrille Ball 2010

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.

For those who are interested to be part of this "once-in-a-lifetime" experience, I have some more information for you:

Purchasing a ticket to the annual Quadrille Ball is the easiest way to help the Germanistic Society to raise funds for its Scholarship program. The current price for a ticket is $550.00 which includes pre-dinner reception, dinner, drinks and dancing until midnight, followed by the KüKa Club until 3 a.m. (beer, wine, soft drinks and light buffet included).

For the 50th Quadrille Ball we are also offering a special Golden Anniversary Sponsorship ticket for $1,000. This anniversary sponsor level includes special mentioning in the Ball Journal, an invitation to the private VIP reception as well as preferred seating.

Schlittschuhfahren in NY ist eine Attraktion! Mitten zwischen den Wolkenkratzern Manhattans auf weißem Eis seine Bahnen ziehen...
Ich habe ein paar Eisbahnen rausgesucht die ich besonders gerne mag, weil jeder "Pond" anders ist. Da ist der Bryant Park, direkt an der Public Library, die Bahn am Rockefeller Center mit dem einzigartigen Blick auf den riesigen Weihnachtsbaum oder auch das Eis im Central Park, welches etwas weiter enfernt vom Trubel der 5th. Ave liegt.

Alle hier genannten Bahnen sind bereits geöffnet und auch schon von Freunden für sehr gut befunden worden. Viel Spass beim Ice Skating...

Allen Schlittschuhfahrern und Schlittschuhfahrerinnen wünsche ich Hals- und Beinbruch. Für den Notfall hier noch einmal die Notrufnummer: 911

Moin Moin,

lang ist es her, dass ich meinen Blog gefüllt habe. Dies wird sich nun ändern, da ich am 15.01.2010 wieder nach NY fliege.

Die Vorfreude steigt und es gibt viel zu organisieren und zu planen, da ich dieses mal möglichst viele Freunde besuchen möchte.

Ab sofort lohnt es sich also wieder auf meinen Blog zu gehen. Und wenn ihr auch zwischen dem 15.01. und 24.01. in New York seid, dann sagt bescheid.

See you soon
