CEMS Waltzing Days 2011 The CEMS Waltzing Days 2011, the second biggest Pan-European Event during the CEMS year, was successfully organised the ninth time in a row by the CEMS Alumni Austria and the CEMS Club Vienna.
Over 140 participants from 13 countries all over Europe came to Vienna to spend a magical weekend rich in cultural and social events. For many among them, it was not the first time at the CEMS Waltzing Days – we were very happy to welcome many regular guests again. The programme started on Friday evening with a traditional Austrian dinner with such specialties as Wiener Schnitzel, and stilt,... and later continued with clubbing at one of the hottest clubbing locations in the city – the Passage! Saturday was entirely devoted to the ball: first there was a crash course to refresh the waltzing skills. After just 1.5 hours, all guests were waltzing like professionals! After a guided sightseeing tour in pleasant, spring-like weather, it was time to get ready for the ball! All participants met again in the evening in a stylish bar in the city centre for drinks and finger food before heading off to the emperor’s palace – the Hofburg! Having seen the spectacular opening, everybody moved on to the various dance floors with music ranging from classical to pop music. The CEMS table served as the place to meet, drink and rest. The most passionate dancers stayed even till 5 am in the morning to dance the final waltz and enjoy the traditional after-hour breakfast! The brunch on Sunday was a well-received opportunity to meet again and share the experiences of that amazing night - and to promise to come again next year. In the name of the LC Austria and the CEMS Club Vienna, we would like to use this opportunity and to invite all of you to the jubilee 10th edition of the CEMS Waltzing Days in January next year. The preparations for a unique event have already started and we would be happy to spend a fantastic time with you!
