@@pommedeterreaucitron nope but i'll be sure to check it out!! Some historical fiction I really like: -The Phantom of the Opera -Pride and Prejudice -Little Women -The Little Princess -Daddy Long Legs -The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
To be all honesty here. I'd cry my eyes out if I got to do this dance with a loved one. It's so beautiful,elegant and sweet. I'd give anything to do this
Then do it. Balls like these exist and not just rarely. Most people just don't know of their existence. if you really want to, go to a dancing school and learn it there. Especially the respected and more traditional schools often attend or organise their own balls and if not, ask your dance teacher about local or national balls. If you are in the US, it might be a bit harder than in Europe but even there, many balls are being organised and once you are in the scene, you can easily go up to 10 balls a year (if you've got enough free time of course)
Absolutely agree! The elegance and sweetness of this waltz is truly captivating. Have you checked out the works of Johann Strauss II? His waltzes are just as beautiful and perfect for dancing with a loved one. 😊
We dont have dances like these westerners dont bother about protecting their culture and traditions. leftists are out to sedate them with self hating propogandaa f*ck all apathetic attitude towards carrying on traditions.
Aw, I'm sorry. I really believe adults should prepare children better for the neverending humdrum that is daily adult life. Like, not traumatise them with unnecessary details, but just... something.
Everything I ever dreamed of what prom should be. But my school's got other ideas😂😭😭😭 it's fun yeah...but it lacks *this* And I've yet to experience a waltz in my life
what I would give to experience this atleast once. I've been to these balls when I was like 6 so atleast 8 years ago. I wasn't allowed to dance but I saw the other ladies do it and I was so jealous, they seemed to be having the time of their lives
I have no idea why we as a species stopped doing this, at least comparatively as often as one may think our ancestors did back when this kind of music was being written. The class, elegance, and sophistication were truly something else. And the style. You can say what you want about their clothes, but I think they really knew how to dress for such occasions.
Because westerners domt bother about protecting their culture and traditins leftists are out to sedate them with self hating culture hating propoganda.
>we as a species. Lol Only white people did this because they invented it, its their culture and tradition. Its envied the world over of course cause nothing comes close to its beauty.
Wow. I live in Austria, where we have hundreds of balls like that every year - and definitely not only for the upper class-, so I never realized how uncommon this whole concept of attending balls is in most other parts of the world...
Hey, Ich komm auch aus österreich😂👌 hab mir das gleiche gedacht.... Da sieht man wieder wie gut es uns hier geht😂😂 aber Spaß bei Seite, Bälle sind wirklich wundervoll, ich bin so gerne dort💕 man fühlt sich immer ein bisschen wie eine prinzessin💓
Wow balls still exist??!! I mean I thought balls are only held on very very special occasions like the royal wedding or something since they have a long history:/ but damn I’ve never been to a ball and I’m not that young I assure u
I don’t know why we ever stopped doing this. It’s almost like that planned out choreo that you only see in movies, except everyone knows what to do. It’s so cool
It’s one of the fine arts that died out. I honestly wish it hadn’t either. I feel like there should be yearly balls at least once a year where everyone knows the old dances. 🥺
In Europe, the tradition is still very alive. In my country (Czechia) most of the high schoolers (some of them opt out, because they find classic dances boring) attend one semester long classic dances courses. You attend such courses as a class and meet there pupils from other schools from your city. Throughout the semester there are about three main balls where also parents are invited.
Austrian here. We also had a ball during the last year of school. At first, I hated attending the dance classes. It always got so late, at the same time we had to prepare for "Matura" which is the final exam to get a degree. We also had to write a diploma thesis and loosing a whole day per week to attend dance classes was extremely stressful. But when the day came to dance in front of hundreds of people, every exhausting thing was forgotten. It was one of my best experiences I've ever had, and I can't describe how glad I was to attend the ball. I hope that this tradition will never die ❤

Jo honey, I feel like they all stole the show, why do you have to be part of the favoritism thing. I feel like all of their dresses looked exactly the same and flowed within the same exact rate so really there’s nothing special about one specific person, they’re all special
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 what? They clearly all have very different dress shapes: full circle skirts, A-line, half circle, trumpet, etc. A feature of a full circle skirt is that when twirling the skirt flows really nicely and looks very full. That's not ""favouritism"", that's just the way fabric works. So take your condescending ""honey"" somewhere else please.
This is how Hungarian proms look like:) Imagine this with 50+ dancing pairs, it's really fun. We learn the dance for 3 or 4 months then perform it on the big night
I love how they sync up and its so pretty how the dresses spin and how their circle of dancers just move so beautiful and awesome!Their movements are the best!
When you realize that this isn't a movie and really in some part of the world some people actually had the chance to participate in something so magical in real life.... *cries tears of sorrow for not being able to dance like this* *cries tears of joy for still getting to witness this beautiful masterpiece*
You can probably find ballroom dance classes near where you live though! There are local competitions all over the world so if you really want to do it you probably can :) It's never too late
Anyone else loving the way her dress turns? The one in the middle at 2:24 couldn’t stop looking at her dress throughout the whole video. I’ve always wanted to wear a dress like that.
She’s wearing a full circle skirt and so it flows a lot better then the others skirts. The fabric is thinner aswell and so it spreads out more when you twirl.
I wouldn't have any problems with that. I like my ex, he's a good man but not for me. And he was the best one to dance with so I'd be quite happy to dance with him 😊
Actually, it was the 19th century (before that, there was no waltz), and dancing wasn't quite as formal in Vienna - people held on to each other pretty tightly. Add to that the prominence of VERY low-cut dresses in the fashion of the time, and you get an idea of why it was considered so scandalous. ;)
y‘all need to study in vienna. all of the universities have an anual ball just like this one. from december to february there are balls every weekend and if you‘re a university student the entry tickets are quite affordable (around 30€/35$)
when I was little I always thought prom would be like this 😭😂 and that idea only grew even more when I watched the 4th Harry Potter movie .. after that when it came to all those high school shows and movies it changed to amazing dancing 🕺🏻 on the floor to sick 70s and 80s/90s songs 🙌🏻 similar to footloose and .. then there was the great disappointment
@@arivera857 Ah, but 'tis in practice that one gains coordination! That is how all people start. If this type of dancing were still incorporated into our culture/society, we would likely have learned the steps in our childhood.
I'm from Germany and my school offered dancing courses for everyone to join before prom :-) There was no big performance as it wasn't mandatory but still great that night! Also these balls are still a very, very, very important and big thing in Vienna! I was there last year for my semester abroad and balls where advertised everywhere. Unfortunately I could not go to one because of Finals but when Covid is over and I refreshed my dancing skills a bit, I really want to go with my boyfriend 😊
the girl who's dress twirled so beautifully stole the show for me with her dress. i loved it so much, it was just so perfect in my eyes on how it moved as she spun. i'm not a fan of limp dresses that barely move when the wearer is being spun, so she definitely caught my eye.
I'm afraid I couldn't keep my eyes off the 2 girls dresses that looked too tight for the crinolin or hoop skirt. Honestly a little static guard please.
just a name yeah, but it’s sad that they aren’t common anymore. Because now it would be everyone dancing instead of just wealthy people. And to be honest, dancing now a days is kind of unimpressive when all they do is dance sexually I don’t mean to be rash or anything, but the way people dance now just makes me sad tbh
They deserve every second and every clap of every hand in that audience. That beautiful performance required a lot of practice and discipline from these young people. And they delivered!!
+Dua Zainab you're right, there was no ONE specific time, but various times throughout history societies had spikes of demand for yes, lavish clothing, furniture etc, and attending venues such as balls -.-, think before you type and be a buzzkill
+Dua Zainab ..... I never said everyone attended balls though? I'm fully aware that not everyone was able to participate, but that's my point! Balls back then were extremely lavish for that very reason, I highly doubt balls of today have got anything on what balls were like back then XD
Before I entered highschool, I really thought proms are like this so my standards are so damn high. Even now that I'm at highschool and waiting for prom to happen, I still dream it'll be like this ballroom dance.
My sister or brother had one in collège (french grades not american) but it wasn't at 18 and i think they could bring alcohol, but i think even before covid they stopped. But tbh i don't see a prom in any french school, they're just not as pretty.
Imagine waltzing with your enemy , who is soon going to be your love of life but u hate him rn, u r on a mission here and u have to dance with him and omg I m getting goosebumps
OHH DUDE DUDE THEN IMAGINE WHISPER TALKING STARKY SARCASTIC REMARKS TO EACHOTHER, BUT IT COMES TO WHERE THEYRE JUST STUPID AND IT MAKES YOU BOTH LAUGH OR SMILE OR SMTH HTVHJBHJ- WHILE DANCING!!!!!!!!!! 😩💕
Why can't we have more of this in every big city in the Western world? I'd like to both watch it with different dresses each time and dance in it with all the practice that it takes. It's a beautiful way to exercise.
As a classical musician who's not from Vienna, I've always been somewhat detached when playing waltzes - as though my interpretation was lacking even though I knew it was a dance. It's only now by seeing how the dancers twirl around and the skirts swish about and the gracefulness of their steps did I fully understand how waltzes really are..so thank you very much for this. It was an eye opener and a learning experience.
Where I live (Southern Germany, near Austria), we have lots of those events. Tbh, I love reading the comments by amazed & envious Americans... they make me feel less "cut off" from the rest of the world here in Europe 😂😂 It's like "see, we have cool things here, too" lmao
As an American, I have absolutely no idea why we’ve abandoned this kind of dancing for things like tWErKINg and other overly sexualized club dancing. No way in hell you’re ever going to get me to twerk, but if someone wanted to teach how to THIS, I’d be there in a heartbeat.
Mexican culture does something similar, but it's when a girl turns 15 (or 16 sometimes), but it's nowhere near as complicated as this. We usually have a few short waltzes with the family and friends, a mariachi (band) plays, and the rest is party music 🔊
This already feels like a fantasy, but it feel MORE impactful when you haven’t seen a hall full of people like that in more than a year, and a full on human contact generally.
pam11as We do still do this in society, what on Earth are you talking about? It is a regular accurance. No dance, no tutors, no horses to ride. Mama and papa would say we had lost any sanity we had. My sisters would say that I had officially lost myself in a make believe world and my brothers I daren't even imagine what they would say.
@@rainbowstorm6142 A quinceañera, quince for short is a Hispanic tradition. Basically when a girl turns 15, the family throws a big party for the girl. It’s called a quinceañera because it means 15 year old girl. My quince is coming up and I gotta get ready for my waltz
No, they are not professionals. They are advanced beginners or intermediates. The alignment, posture, lines, & movement of professionals is dramatically different. So you do not have to be a professional dancer to look good.....& have a great time!
But their formations were pretty good. I’m honestly baffled how they managed to learn an 8 minute routine without learning anything about body contact or other ballroom technique.
Words can't express how badly i want to do this. Like just once in my life i want to ballroom dance, but like in historically accurate dresses and shit. Like i want to experience the whole thing, just once and i would be happy. Better yet a masquerade themed ball.
The place for you to go to is Vienna. The most famous ball is the Opernball at the Vienna opera house. It is a classical debutante ball where the young ladies of society are presented. It is quite expensive to go tho' and a terrible crush. But there are loads and loads of balls during the season (from Christmas to Ash Wednesday).
As a 20 year old, I know I am in the minority of my age bracket when I say this...But here goes. There is no form of dancing that is more romantic and more appealing than the Viennese waltz. After going to a salute to Vienna concert in Vancouver where they had ballroom dancers dancing to Strauss Waltzes and Polkas, I was captivated by every move and close embrace. The way the pairs move together are simply beautiful, and the formal wear they are required to wear is elegant and classy. I would rather watch one Viennese waltz rather than 10,000 videos of modern “dancing” which I think is spit in the face of true beautiful dancing like this. May the Viennese waltz live long and be celebrated for many centuries to come!
Then take up ballroom dance, I can't tell your gender, but just Google it. As a male in my generation, dance was always seen as effeminate, and I could just cry now that I never pursued it.
People like you are so annoying. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you get to take a giant dump on it. Modern dance styles are just as good as the classics. They are just a different form of expression in dance. There is absolutely no reason to bash it. All you had to say was that you like more classic styles of dance. All this pretentious BS doesn't make you seem refined or cultured. It just makes you look daft. If you actually enjoyed dancing as an artform you'd recognize that all forms of dance should be celebrated and that they require a lot of skill to be executed well.
as a dancer. i have to agree that it is one of the most romantic styles of dances. but please dont be so rude about other dance styles. There is no true dancing. That is a concept that has come out of centuries of slavery and imperialism. Just like waltz, every style also has history and story behind it. Many modern dance forms have a foothold in empowerment and taking back power and a way of expression as a lot originated in minority communities where such styles end up being one of the few ways to express yourself. Coming from a purely dancers perspective, doing various styles really allows different emotions to come out when it is your way of self expression. So please, while you are entitled to your opinion, try not to drag other styles to make yours seem better. Have a great day!
Here in Austria (where I live at least) it's basically a rule for any 15/16 year old girl and boy to attend a dancing school where you learn to dance things like many versions of waltz and also many more different classical dances. When you went there for a few months and the ball season starts. Every boy and girl searches for a dance partner with whom he or she continues dancing together and sign up for ball "eröffnungen" (the first dance, like the one in the video), where they learn the choreography together with all other "couples", til they day of the ball they trained for. I loved my time at the balls as a teenager, it was always so romantic. I had my first kiss on one and me and my girlfriend had the best time dancing together in super fancy clothes with gloves and sometimes she even got to wore a little crystal crown.
@hi same. We all need to throw a giant party in every country that wants to participate after COVID goes bye-bye and dance like this. Imagine all the pretty gowns and dapper suits and the music...ahh.. this is why I'm doing this at my wedding...either that or I'm traveling to a country where this is common. 🥺
A beautiful European culture... Keep it up. In Asia, and Eastern cultures people keep their dances alive.. So great the Europeans are doing the same. I love your classical music and symphonies too.
I noticed one young lady in a white dress sitting by herself after the dance started. I felt terribly sorry for her? Why was she not dancing? Did she sprain her ankle 5 minutes before the ball? Or did her partner not show up? How awful to be all dressed up and sitting there watching the other young women dance.
There are always alternates for each dance in case something goes wrong. Sometimes they are needed to dance (it happens more often than you may think), and sometimes if everyone stays healthy, they have to sit out as you observed. But the opening committee also dances a polka, and the alternate couples for the waltz always get a chance to perform the polka (and vice versa).
Ugh this makes me miss dancing so much So glad I live in austria where there is a ball culture with multiple balls every year Fun fact: it is not uncommon to go to a danceschool as a middle class teenager (around 16) to get basic dance training and at the end you go to a „debut ball“ where you‘ll perform a (slightly easier) opening like this
Lucky I wish American schools were like this at my high school homecoming we had girls in short dresses grinding on guys and each other and any slow song me and my partner tried to dance to people would just continue doing those dances as of it were a club ( this is a room of about 1,000 14-15 year olds ) ✋🥲
I'm a man, 25 years old, i love this music so much and this is one of the things that i wanted to do in my entire life. And it makes me cry, it's so beautiful and i'm so sensitive.
I learned ballroom dance at Stanford University back in the 80s. Watching this video makes me homesick for it! I'm so glad they now have this formal event! P.S. I didn't formally attend Stanford. They offered non unit classes to the community, which I took.
Awsome!!! I think that children of today don't have the grace and elegance of the dancers have that are in this video. However I think that we need to step back in time and teach them elegance, Grace and Dignity that my Mother and your Mother instilled in her children!!!! This is what we should be doing Instead of handing them the remote to a T.V., game or just plainly just do whatever it take's to get them to do something other than whatever it take's to get them to be invisible to parent's!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
+Annette Celia Rosemary - There are ballroom dance clubs all over the US and many of them put on functions similar to this, in big dance halls with the costumes and everything.
Everybody talking about how sweet it is dancing with your crush when there's me and my class enemy stepping on each other's foot and laughing at each other while trying to keep a straight face and dancing altogether 😭
The formation was very Beautiful!!! My 10yo grand-daughter enjoyed watching this with me and said that they ALL looked like that they're princesses!!! Congrats on a job well done!!!
Oh my how beautiful. Most fun thing is I am going to get to do this soon! In Finland 2nd year students (high school, age 17-18) we have ball like this with traditional ballroom songs and lastly our own song which kind of silly with today's hits and all. I'm going to get my ballgown soon!
Hope you had fun! I would love to live in an area where you did this regularly but I like in the U.S and at least where around where I live I have never heard of people doing this 😭
As a participant of few Ball i adore this event. It is so magical and inspiring. The backstage of every dance are few months of repetitions. But the result - the magic of the dance.
@@kicklayoutfosse7009 oh god! I think I'm gonna fAiNt these children are out of cOnTrOL! I wonder what their parents think about these inappropriate behaviors.

That's not ""favouritism"", that's just the way fabric works. So take your condescending ""honey"" somewhere else please.
This is how Hungarian proms look like:) Imagine this with 50+ dancing pairs, it's really fun. We learn the dance for 3 or 4 months then perform it on the big night
That is so awesome!! In Spain we don't even have proms lol
My prom in canada was a meal at a garbage hotel, everyone leaving at the second dance to go drinking or to go home. Nothing like this

So cool

actually from 1700’s - 1950’s they had balls like this in america, mostly in the victorian era.

Anyone else loving the way her dress turns? The one in the middle at 2:24 couldn’t stop looking at her dress throughout the whole video. I’ve always wanted to wear a dress like that.
Hehe I've been watching her the whole time
same here！！
She’s wearing a full circle skirt and so it flows a lot better then the others skirts. The fabric is thinner aswell and so it spreads out more when you twirl.
I literally commented the same thing. I'm in love with the dress. It moves so beautifully and so does she
Yess i was about to comment this

And that was considered grinding back in the 18th century.
Lol i'd say it was more accepted than grinding
Actually, it was the 19th century (before that, there was no waltz), and dancing wasn't quite as formal in Vienna - people held on to each other pretty tightly. Add to that the prominence of VERY low-cut dresses in the fashion of the time, and you get an idea of why it was considered so scandalous. ;)

I'm from Germany and my school offered dancing courses for everyone to join before prom :-) There was no big performance as it wasn't mandatory but still great that night!
Also these balls are still a very, very, very important and big thing in Vienna! I was there last year for my semester abroad and balls where advertised everywhere. Unfortunately I could not go to one because of Finals but when Covid is over and I refreshed my dancing skills a bit, I really want to go with my boyfriend 😊
It's so comforting to see humans harmonize
the girl who's dress twirled so beautifully stole the show for me with her dress. i loved it so much, it was just so perfect in my eyes on how it moved as she spun. i'm not a fan of limp dresses that barely move when the wearer is being spun, so she definitely caught my eye.
Circle patters sure are pretty But they do eat up a ton of fabric
I'm afraid I couldn't keep my eyes off the 2 girls dresses that looked too tight for the crinolin or hoop skirt. Honestly a little static guard please.
same! you can't keep your eyes off her when she twirls!
Which girl I cant seem to figure it out ??
Mark lee the one in the bottom center at 8:06 i think
it is considered a failure and great disappointment of this human race that we have allowed ballroom dancing of any kind to become so uncommon.
just a name
yeah, but it’s sad that they aren’t common anymore.
Because now it would be everyone dancing instead of just wealthy people.
And to be honest, dancing now a days is kind of unimpressive when all they do is dance sexually
I don’t mean to be rash or anything, but the way people dance now just makes me sad tbh
just a name
Oof
For us in Vienna it’s the most common thing ever! Every teenager that I know learned how to ballroom dance... we even have a ball season

As a classical musician who's not from Vienna, I've always been somewhat detached when playing waltzes - as though my interpretation was lacking even though I knew it was a dance. It's only now by seeing how the dancers twirl around and the skirts swish about and the gracefulness of their steps did I fully understand how waltzes really are..so thank you very much for this. It was an eye opener and a learning experience.

It's like "see, we have cool things here, too" lmao
As an American, I have absolutely no idea why we’ve abandoned this kind of dancing for things like tWErKINg and other overly sexualized club dancing. No way in hell you’re ever going to get me to twerk, but if someone wanted to teach how to THIS, I’d be there in a heartbeat.
Mexican culture does something similar, but it's when a girl turns 15 (or 16 sometimes), but it's nowhere near as complicated as this. We usually have a few short waltzes with the family and friends, a mariachi (band) plays, and the rest is party music 🔊
Oh let me vist

No, they are not professionals. They are advanced beginners or intermediates.
The alignment, posture, lines, & movement of professionals is dramatically different.
So you do not have to be a professional dancer to look good.....& have a great time!
Thank you for the information !
But their formations were pretty good. I’m honestly baffled how they managed to learn an 8 minute routine without learning anything about body contact or other ballroom technique.
I wish I learnt to dance like this I hope this music stays around for ever. Everyone in this dance looks beautiful
It makes me wanna learn the waltz right now. and the dress. O MY GOSH! I LOVE IT!
This just looks so freaking _magical_ even though it's reality-
Words can't express how badly i want to do this.
Like just once in my life i want to ballroom dance, but like in historically accurate dresses and shit. Like i want to experience the whole thing, just once and i would be happy. Better yet a masquerade themed ball.
The place for you to go to is Vienna. The most famous ball is the Opernball at the Vienna opera house. It is a classical debutante ball where the young ladies of society are presented. It is quite expensive to go tho' and a terrible crush. But there are loads and loads of balls during the season (from Christmas to Ash Wednesday).
Same. Like once in my life with the love of my life!

As a 20 year old, I know I am in the minority of my age bracket when I say this...But here goes. There is no form of dancing that is more romantic and more appealing than the Viennese waltz. After going to a salute to Vienna concert in Vancouver where they had ballroom dancers dancing to Strauss Waltzes and Polkas, I was captivated by every move and close embrace. The way the pairs move together are simply beautiful, and the formal wear they are required to wear is elegant and classy. I would rather watch one Viennese waltz rather than 10,000 videos of modern “dancing” which I think is spit in the face of true beautiful dancing like this. May the Viennese waltz live long and be celebrated for many centuries to come!
I want to take waltz I don't care if no one dances it in this time but its so classy
Then take up ballroom dance, I can't tell your gender, but just Google it. As a male in my generation, dance was always seen as effeminate, and I could just cry now that I never pursued it.
People like you are so annoying. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you get to take a giant dump on it. Modern dance styles are just as good as the classics. They are just a different form of expression in dance. There is absolutely no reason to bash it. All you had to say was that you like more classic styles of dance. All this pretentious BS doesn't make you seem refined or cultured. It just makes you look daft. If you actually enjoyed dancing as an artform you'd recognize that all forms of dance should be celebrated and that they require a lot of skill to be executed well.
@@shalom5978 Dude. Say that again, but slowly.
as a dancer. i have to agree that it is one of the most romantic styles of dances. but please dont be so rude about other dance styles. There is no true dancing. That is a concept that has come out of centuries of slavery and imperialism. Just like waltz, every style also has history and story behind it. Many modern dance forms have a foothold in empowerment and taking back power and a way of expression as a lot originated in minority communities where such styles end up being one of the few ways to express yourself. Coming from a purely dancers perspective, doing various styles really allows different emotions to come out when it is your way of self expression. So please, while you are entitled to your opinion, try not to drag other styles to make yours seem better. Have a great day!

Imagine dancing there and falling in love with the one you dance with. That’s truly magical
Here in Austria (where I live at least) it's basically a rule for any 15/16 year old girl and boy to attend a dancing school where you learn to dance things like many versions of waltz and also many more different classical dances. When you went there for a few months and the ball season starts. Every boy and girl searches for a dance partner with whom he or she continues dancing together and sign up for ball "eröffnungen" (the first dance, like the one in the video), where they learn the choreography together with all other "couples", til they day of the ball they trained for.
I loved my time at the balls as a teenager, it was always so romantic. I had my first kiss on one and me and my girlfriend had the best time dancing together in super fancy clothes with gloves and sometimes she even got to wore a little crystal crown.
@hi same. We all need to throw a giant party in every country that wants to participate after COVID goes bye-bye and dance like this. Imagine all the pretty gowns and dapper suits and the music...ahh.. this is why I'm doing this at my wedding...either that or I'm traveling to a country where this is common. 🥺
A beautiful European culture... Keep it up. In Asia, and Eastern cultures people keep their dances alive.. So great the Europeans are doing the same. I love your classical music and symphonies too.
@hi where do you live if I may ask?
I love the long, over-the-elbow gloves the women are all wearing.
I noticed one young lady in a white dress sitting by herself after the dance started. I felt terribly sorry for her? Why was she not dancing? Did she sprain her ankle 5 minutes before the ball? Or did her partner not show up? How awful to be all dressed up and sitting there watching the other young women dance.
Nah her partner was there right next to her, so I wondered why they couldn't dance.
I assume that they were extras just in case something went wrong, because there were already 16 couples on the floor.
There are always alternates for each dance in case something goes wrong. Sometimes they are needed to dance (it happens more often than you may think), and sometimes if everyone stays healthy, they have to sit out as you observed. But the opening committee also dances a polka, and the alternate couples for the waltz always get a chance to perform the polka (and vice versa).

Fun fact: it is not uncommon to go to a danceschool as a middle class teenager (around 16) to get basic dance training and at the end you go to a „debut ball“ where you‘ll perform a (slightly easier) opening like this
