MCD Formal Balls

Melbourne Colonial Dancers Balls

Enjoy an evening of special dancing with live music at our June ball, and at our End of Year Dance in November.

Bookings
Please purchase your tickets online via Humanitix - see dance details on the side, or through contacts on the flyer.

Themes
Our mid-year June ball in particular has a new theme each year and dancers are encouraged to dress up accordingly. The dance program and decorations are also usually designed to reflect the theme.
Themes are drawn from many sources and in recent years have included Dancing through Time, Cinderella, Gold Fever, Phryne Fisher 1920’s, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen, and Sound of Music.
Theme and costume ideas for our current ball are regularly posted on our Facebook page.

Photos and video clips
Photographs, video clips, and programs of many of our previous balls can be viewed by clicking on individual ball posters on this page. Follow our Facebook page as well for more information, photos and video clips of past balls.
