Russian Charity Ball in Hong Kong
The Russian Charity Ball in Hong Kong will take place on March 8th this year. It is organized by the Russian Club in Hong Kong in support of the local charity St.James’ Settlement. All proceeds will go towards providing an opportunity for local socially deprived children to enjoy classes for creative development and building self-esteem at the Art academy and Ballet school run by the Russian-speaking community in Hong Kong. The Russian Ball is set to revive the tradition of grand Russian Balls outside of Russia and draw more attention to the richness and diversity of Russian culture. The Ball will take place at the banqueting hall of one of the finest hotels in the city – The Excelsior. The program of the Ball includes historic Ballroom dances, a performance from the Russian school of ballet in Hong Kong, a charity auction and lottery with prizes from sponsors and partners of the Ball. All guests can enjoy specially organized lessons in historic ballroom dances before the Ball. Historically Russian Balls outside of Russia were hosted by the exiled white Russian community at the start of the 20th Century and were famous for being decadent, luxurious and glamorous affairs with exquisite music and opulent apparel. The Russian Club in Hong Kong is proud to continue the revival of a traditional grand Russian Ball, it is a great way of preserving a classic Russian cultural tradition in Hong Kong. The Russian Club in Hong Kong is a non-profit organization cultivating Russian language and culture in the Hong Kong’s cosmopolitan environment. The Club was founded in 1999 to support Russian speakers residing in Hong Kong. In 2014 Russian Club is celebrating its 15-year anniversary. The first Russian Ball hosted by the Russian Club was organized in Hong Kong in 2008. The Balls of 2009 and 2011 were tremendously successful, meanwhile this year twice as many guests are expected to attend the Ball as the previous record. St.James’ Settlement is a Hong Kong charity spanning more than 60 years of history. Its work is mostly aimed at helping underprivileged residents of Hong Kong.
