(Scottsdale, Ariz.) –The world’s most interesting polo event just got even more intriguing. For the first time ever, ballroom dancing is taking the field at The 5th Annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower on Oct. 24 at WestWorld of Scottsdale!
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., professional dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studios will waltz, tango, foxtrot and swing on a real wood dance floor installed exclusively for this year’s Polo Party. In addition, dancers will interact with the Polo crowd and give how-to demonstrations and short lessons to attendees.
