Located in Fabulous Las Vegas, one of the world’s premier tourist destinations, The NV Ball is a ballroom dance competition reimagined. World-class competitive dancing in a custom-designed ballroom with a fun, high-energy atmosphere turns every day of The NV Ball into a party. We share your love of dance and are ready to enrich your competition experience both on the dancefloor and throughout the event.
Every aspect of our ballroom elevated experience has been strategically designed to ensure that every guest receives VIP treatment. The NV Ball Butlers and Ambassadors are ready to assist our guests with every detail of their experience; From check-in assistance, to hand delivering a beverage and a snack, or simply to answer any questions. If you decide to bring your four-legged friend with you, one of The NVB Ambassadors or Butlers would be happy to take him for a walk or watch her while you dance.
Get the five-star treatment you deserve at The NV Ball. Since competitions can be demanding, perhaps you would like to be treated to a beverage and snack, have some time to yourself in The NVB Lounge, or enjoy a fun shopping break in one of The NVB pop-up shops, while a butler brings tea or coffee. Enjoy a red-carpet experience exclusive to TheNVBall.
No detail has been overlooked to ensure our guests are pampered from the moment they arrive at the hotel, to the moment they begin their journey back home. With laser-focus on service and attention to detail, we aim to create an environment in which all dancers, judges, spectators, and vendors are treated like royalty. Our rule is to treat all our guests the way we want to be treated. Step through the looking glass and discover the Ballroom Elevated experience through the lens of The NV Ball.
This ballroom dance was first organized in 1986 and is the longest-running competition in Las Vegas. Much like fine wine, The NV Ball continues to mature and become more refined, and as of 2022 has become the official home of ballroom elevated, where every dancer is treated like royalty. We look forward to seeing you at The NV Ball from August 16 to 20, 2022.

In early 2001 they joined YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization), a global network of business leaders, which allowed them the possibility to be a part of exceptional educational, experiential and cultural immersion opportunities while traveling the world in high style, made possible only in YPO. Lana is bringing the world of high society, luxury, and world-class service to The NV Ball so that all our dancers can experience the royal treatment.
Vartan Zakhariants is an entrepreneur and a retired professional dancer who combined his passion for dance and desire to share his knowledge of ballroom dance with others and opened his first dance studio, which became an instant success. He began competing with his pro-am students and learned first-hand what they wanted from their ballroom dance experience and competitions. With his technical dance knowledge and amazing “people skills,” Vartan soon became one of the most sought-after pro-am ballroom dance teachers. As the number his students increased, he was able to expand and grow his business, and together with his beautiful wife, Tania Reis, built VZ Dance Studio, into one of the top ballroom dance studios in North America.
VZ Dance Studio has received over 30 Top Studio Awards and two World Class Top Studio titles.
Along with the VZ Dance Studio team, Vartan hosts monthly fabulous themed parties, bringing both students and community members together in a fun-filled, healthy environment. As the co-organizer of The NV Ball, Vartan is excited to bring his knowledge of the competitive ballroom dance industry along with his creative flair to help make the NV Ball an unforgettable experience.
Vartan, his wife Tania, and their beautiful daughter Gabriela live in Las Vegas. When they are not working or spending time with Gabriela, they like to invest in real estate as a hobby and volunteer with the Emerald Dream Foundation, changing the world one Act of Random Kindness at a Time.
