2025 Steampunk Ball

LOCATION: The Denver Turnverein - 1570 N Clarkson St, Denver, CO 80218, USA. This amazing historical building is located downtown, behind the Filmore Auditorium. Parking won’t be an issue for our event since it’s on a Sunday and mid-day. There is free parking around the building - over 60 spots, on the street (free on Sundays) and at the bank across the street (more details to come for this option). Check out the venue here and see what dance classes they offer. They are a great resources for our community.

Dancing: 1:00 - 3:30 pm with 30 min. intermission.

Light snacks will be offered during the event. 

The dancing for this event will be called by dance historian extraordinaire, Sharon Guli. The music and dancing will be inspired by the Victorian era (1837-1901) with a steampunk touch. 

No prior dance experience is needed.

Steampunk attire is encouraged but not required, modern dressy is a fine alternative. Bring a camera, you will want to photograph this event! There will be a photo backdrop available to take pictures with your own camera, as well as a professional photo booth for an additional fee.

We will have vendors, a costume contest and more surprises, if we think of them. :)

FAQs

Please read VSC's Liability & Photo Release Form. You will be asked to agree to its terms on the next window.

What is the refund policy?

Tickets are refundable through January 1, 2025. No refunds after, however tickets are transferable. We have sold out several times, so buying in advance is a good idea. We have had to make more room for a larger group by having less tables during the dance portion in previous years, so we do NOT guarantee a seat at a table during the dance intermission. 

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The Denver Turnverein has a parking lot and parking is free. There is also street parking available, as well as parking at the bank across the street. 

Is the venue ADA compliant?

Yes. This venue IS wheelchair accessible. 

Will tickets be sold at the door?

We strongly recommend you purchase your tickets in advance. Sales at the door depend on ticket availability. In previous years we sold out and there were NO ticket sales at the door. 

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Printing your ticket is OPTIONAL and will not be needed at the door. Your name will be on a Guest List at check in. 

(If you give your ticket to someone else they must know the exact name you purchased the ticket under and will show their own ID).

Is my registration fee or ticket transferable?

Yes, however, the new person should provide the original name from the ticket when checking in. 

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

Yes. When you check in at the event, give us the name under which the ticket was purchased, but be sure to have your own ID with you. 

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

12 or older must have a ticket. Under age 16, see children policy below. Have your ID available for inspection.

What is your CHILD POLICY?

We view children as the future of our Club and welcome them to our dance events when they can adhere to our child policy, as follows:

1) Children (and adults alike) should not run across the dance floor during a dance, because of the risk of tripping people. 

2) The dance mistress will announce when a particular dance is too complex for children, and they will need to sit and watch instead of participating in that dance.
