Unique Dance Experience in Los Angeles - The Queen Mary 

Tuesday, October 29th, 2024

​

Experience the glamour of the golden age of travel while dancing in an elegant art-deco ballroom aboard the original Queen Mary Cruise ship! First launched in 1936, now permanently docked as a hotel in LA, unprecedented luxury and forward-thinking technology made the Queen Mary popular with British Royalty, Hollywood celebrities and dignitaries alike, raising the bar for luxury travel and ultimately becoming the grandest ocean liner ever built.

 

This dance and dining experience will be an opportunity for you like no other!

Join us for a formal dance and lunch in the opulent surroundings of the Verandah Grill & Deck room, and revisit that bygone era of elegance and sophistication!

 

Enjoy the elegant art deco style of the period as well as the sheer opulence that went into the furnishings of the great ships. No expense spared from the enormous chandeliers to the sweeping grand staircases. Travelling by sea used to require a vast wardrobe of outfits and finery to show off. Let’ re-create the “Grande Descente” when the stylish passengers entered the dining room in all their jewels and finery by way of a sweeping staircase.

Transportation from the Ruby Princess to the Queen Mary is coordinated by DanceWise with The Parlor Car Trolley Bus company, travel in First Class style. Included as part of this special unforgettable experience.

​

This one-off special event starts with boarding The Parlor Car at 10:30 am, enjoy ballroom dancing with Julianne and Paul from 11am - 3pm, with a break for a delicious lunch in the middle.

 

$250 per person - Use the button below to reserve your place. Places are limited, book early to avoid disappointment.
