Profile
2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between Japan and the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary in 1869. Therefore, in order to commemorate and celebrate the long friendship between our two countries, we have decided to organize and hold a ``150th Anniversary Ball of Japan-Austria Friendship'' as a tribute to the ball held in Austria. . Through this dance party, we aim to further deepen and develop mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and Austria.When participating, we recommend that you participate in a male-female pair. We hope that you, your spouse, and your friends will feel like you are at a Viennese ball, regardless of your level of dance technique. This ball is not just a ball that imitates the shape, but we have prepared beautiful and fun music for everyone to dance. I hope you will enjoy it to the fullest.
