Why can't you just LARP for fun? People do stuff like civil war encampments and renn faires because they're huge fun. A LARP club that gets dressed up and dances to the waltz sounds like an unusual, interesting time.

(Edited to add, I've not been to a SCA event but would I be correct in predicting there might be a waltz at a SCA event?)

There's dancing, but its Rennaisance; the Waltz isn't period.

We already dress up in ballroom dancing, whether it's for social dancing or for competition.
