Dances of Vice: The Grand Shipwreck Ball
Posted Nov 14, 2009 at 10:22 CET in Events.
November 20-22 Dances of Vice hold a spectacular nautical themed party in New York called The Grand Shipwreck Ball. It’s not strictly 18th century but from what I understand many people dress up in (among other historical eras) 18th century clothes to go to these events.
The festival program features live music ranging from classical opera to rock ballads, international guests, historical costume fashion shows, dance, puppetry, fencing, performance art, vendors, and ballroom dancing, among other chimerical amusements.

Hi there, I am a member of the Dances of Vice community here in NYC… ;) Typically each (monthly) party sticks to one era - anywhere between the 1700s to the 1940s - but the annual Ball is more general. There have definitely been 18th century specific parties, and they are fabulous! Everyone really goes all out. I have been to lots of period costume parties in cities all over the world, but these top them all!! They are wonderful. You should try to come sometime!
