Elmayer dance school (German: Tanzschule Elmayer) is a ballroom dance school in Vienna, Austria founded in 1919 by a former Austro-Hungarian Army officer Willy Elmayer von Vestenbrugg. It is considered one of the most prominent dance schools in the world[citation needed] and its "Elmayer Kränzchen" hosts the record for largest ball opening in the world.[citation needed] Students at Elmayer may also finish their courses with the official "Österreichische Tanzleistungsabzeichen" examination, which at higher levels grants students to hold their own dance classes.[citation needed] It is currently headed by the founder's grandson, Thomas Schäfer-Elmayer.[1][2]
