Today I attended the annual Russian Spring Ball (a.k.a. Russian Nobility Ball) that took place at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. As always two ballrooms were used. The Grand Ballroom featured the dinner, dancing to a jazz orchestra and a performance of a Ukranian dance group. The Baroque Room featured a Russian folk band which played Russian and other European folk music. They also played several Tangos.

The Ball is organized by The Russian Nobility Association in America, Inc.
