Can anyone tell me do I have to wear a ball gown or can I wear a (long) cocktail dress? Also, what dances are am I expected to know (if any) ? Can anyone who has been to one tell me what to expect - feeling a little out of my depth...

it depends on whether it is a formal ball or not in which case it will say in the invitation, if it doesn't say 'black tie' then a nice party dress will be perfect.
there should be dances like 'strip the willow. and the gay Gordan's. but you will be able to pick up the steps easily or just watch those dances as there will be normal dances as well.
don't worry about it just enjoy it.

Cocktail Dress Long or Short will do, The dances can get very fast and are fun as a lot of people who try the dances haven't a clue what they're doing and lose they're place and step as it can get very fast, The Gay Gordons, Dashing White Seargent and Eightsome Reel are some of the dances You will enjoy yourself they are really fun nights. Just relax and have fun you won't be out of you're depth a lot of people who go for first time feel like that and afterwards wonder why they worried, Just Enjoy

Find a dress you will feel confident in and shoes you know you will be able to dance in.
Everyone feels out of their depth, when experiencing their first Hogmanay Ball, Just go and have fun.
Best of wishes to you.

Any dress that makes you feel gorgeous is the right dress. And some Ceilidh dances usually happen around midnight (Strip the willow, The Gay Gordon etc) Have fun and remember party feet gels for your shoes!

a long sexy dress would do the trick, they probably do gay gordons that bout it, but its easy to pick up after few drinks. have fun!!!!
