Step into an evening of dance and elegance at one of Washington, DC's most exclusive venues—the residence of the Serbian Ambassador. This extraordinary ball, presented in the tradition of the Serbian Saint Sava Ball, invites you to experience the magic of classical waltzes and timeless dance music performed by a live orchestra, all within the stately grandeur and elegance of a diplomatic ball.
A date or prior dance experience are not needed to attend. You are welcome to attend on your own or with friends to meet International Club of DC members, the Inspira Dance community, as well as diplomats at the Embassy of Serbia.
This is a rare and exquisite opportunity to revel in the grace of dance, savor the taste of authentic Serbian delicacies presented at the dinner buffet, and indulge in exquisite desserts that highlight the culinary heritage of Serbia. A selection of fine wines will accompany the evening's feast, making this a truly immersive experience for all the senses.
