Welcome to Reverie
Our vision for Reverie Ballroom is to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive hub where dance, performing arts, and community thrive together. By providing a lasting home for local creatives, we aim to foster collaboration, learning, and celebration.
While the arts remain at our core, the venue will also host corporate events, private parties, and weddings—ensuring a financially sustainable space that supports living wages, accessible pricing, and artistic excellence for generations to come.
Less Spectacle. More Soul.
There’s a special kind of joy that only appears after midnight—when the toasts are done, the lights dim, and the dance becomes a quiet conversation instead of a performance. This New Year’s Eve, and for the four days that follow, Reverie Ballroom invites you to REMIX ’26, a celebration that keeps its doors open until 4 a.m. if your feet and heart are willing.
This is not an event built for photos or glitter. No oversized décor. No spectacle. Just room to breathe, move, and make memories—comfort for the soul instead of shine for the camera.
Across these five days, you’ll meet dances shaped by history—blues, zouk, kizomba, slow lindy—held within ballrooms that have witnessed a century of movement. Corners you’ve passed a hundred times will feel new in softer light, unfamiliar rhythms, and unexpected friendships.
What to wear? Cozy layers. Favorite dance clothes. The sweater that feels like home. No stiff formality—just comfort, ease, and joy in motion.
Come as you are. Stay as long as you like.
New Year’s Day Brunch: Let’s Nosh
Begin 2026 with a ballroom brunch crafted by Tele-Chef, a generous and comforting buffet cozy on the couches in the Grand Ballroom. This New Year’s Day feast draws inspiration from Southern classics, soulful and heavy on the butter, brightened with Pacific Northwest flavors. If you remember the spread served to our VIP guests at the Grand Opening, you already know the level of care Tele-Chef brings to the table. Expect thoughtful vegetarian and vegan options, beautifully prepared bites, and a communal meal meant to welcome old friends and new. A gentle, delicious start to the new year. And then, once you've dined...
Settle into the Grand Ballroom for an afternoon of cinematic comfort. We’ll dim the lights, mimosas available for purchase, and roll a curated blend of beloved dance films and unexpected deep cuts. Stretch out on our couches, gather with new friends and old, and enjoy the rare pleasure of watching dance on the big screen in a room built for movement.

About Reverie Ballroom
For twenty-eight years, the former Century Ballroom has been a cornerstone of Seattle’s dance community, a place where movement, connection, and creativity have flourished under the leadership of Hallie Kuperman. Now, as we step into the future, we are honored to continue that legacy—protecting this historic space while reimagining it for a new era of dance, performance, and community.
Located in the historic OddFellows Building, built in 1908 by the Fraternal Order of the OddFellows, stands as a Capitol Hill landmark, blending timeless architecture with renewed purpose.
Renovations begin in this iconic space on April 1st, 2025 with the goal of highlighting the soaring ceilings, intricate facades, and versatile performance areas. Our goal is to restore the Grand Ballroom and West Hall to their original 1908 grandeur. These updates will not only preserve the beauty of this cherished space but also allow us to expand its offerings in exciting new ways.
Thank you all for coming with us as we step into the next adventure at Reverie Ballroom.
