According to the organizers, this is the only ball in which representatives of all the country's navy − the Black Sea, Pacific, Baltic, Northern Fleets, and also the Caspian flotilla, will take part. More than 1,000 people annually take part in this large-scale event − officers and civilian dance couples from all over Russia and all spheres of activity, of different ages.
"The ball in Sevastopol is a matter of honor, and all preparations are dedicated to ensuring that people get the right and the opportunity to represent the face of the city. Sevastopol deserves the most beautiful ball as a reward for its heroic history", — the project manager Yekaterina Grafodatskaya said.
At the same time traditionally the world's only Military Ballroom Parade will take place − a welcoming ceremony of the military and civil society in the style of ballroom dancing.
"This year, military and civilian dance pairs in one ballroom formation symbolize how once, without dividing into military and civilians, nationalities, estates and professions, in a single combat formation, they forged the Great Victory", — the organizers explained.
At the same time, anyone can take part in the event: the best choreographers of the project are ready to teach basic dance skills. Submitting of applications for participation is already open. More information about the terms of participation can be found on the project website.
The Great Sevastopol Ball is the country's main officer's ball. It first took place on June 2, 2013. The project is based on the image of a Russian officer as a historical bearer of nobility, honor and dignity in order to revive these values in modern society. Particular attention is paid to charity. The beneficiaries of the charitable program will be gifted children of Sevastopol and Crimea from the large and low-income families, including children with disabilities, and veteran organizations.
