Winter Ball for Children at Kadriorg Palace

Fairy tales come to life! In the magnificent halls of the historic palace, children can experience the festive and joyful atmosphere of winter balls from days gone by. At the Kadriorg Palace Winter Ball, children can dress up as princes and princesses and enjoy an entertaining, playful guided tour, a short dance lesson, and a ball in the palace’s grand ceremonial hall with live music. A beautiful Christmas tree adds a touch of fairy-tale magic and holiday spirit.

Young guests and their accompanying adults will be welcomed in the palace vestibule by ladies of the palace or chamberlains, who will introduce them to etiquette and ballroom customs and lead them on an exciting tour of the palace rooms, where more than one work of art has come to life. Clues and riddles from characters stepping out of the paintings will lead to a surprise!

During the dance lesson, children and parents will learn a proper bow and the basic steps of three historic dances: the polonaise, cotillion, and gallop. Then the ball begins, with dancing to music specially created for the Kadriorg Children’s Ball! The ball will be led by Goltsman Ballet artist Vlada Schotter.

Guests are invited to wear formal or historically inspired clothing.
