The Arts and Culture Ball is a rich tradition in Denmark, tracing back to the reign of King Christian VIII in the 19th century. Frederik’s ancestor had a great passion for the arts, culture and science, and would convene select guests for parties at the palace.
After dinner at the royal ball, King Frederik and Queen Mary hopped up to dance Les Lanciers and were light on their feet in a video the court shared onInstagram.
“For more than 150 years, Les Lanciers has been danced at the Court’s parties. To this day, it is still a tradition that is upheld at a number of the Royal House’s events,” the Danish Royal House said in astatement.
