Holding ‘Peter’s Heritage’ educational ball in the State Complex the National Congress Palace is by now a good tradition. This event, organized by the Department of Choreographic Art of the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen, for the third time was held in the Konstantinovsky Palace.
Historical ball dances, salon games, maids of honour and aide-de-camps helped to recreate the Grand Duke’s Strelna residence atmosphere, back when it was famous for its music evenings, balls and concerts.
