Deb Ball

Grace and Glamour as Tumbarumba Debutantes Shine October 18, 2025 — 

Tumbarumba Elegance and tradition were on full display in Tumbarumba on Saturday evening as 12 debutantes and their partners were formally presented before an audience of more than 400 guests at the 2025 Tumbarumba Debutante Ball, proudly hosted by All Saints Primary School, Tumbarumba, at the Tumbarumba Basketball Stadium.

The young couples have spent the past 13 weeks preparing for this special occasion, learning a series of traditional dances under the expert instruction of Joerg Ernst and Charlee Blencowe. Their dedication and teamwork were showcased in a beautiful presentation of polished waltzes and choreographed routines that drew warm applause from the crowd. Dressed in timeless white gowns and tailored suits, the debutantes and their partners were the picture of grace and composure as they made their debut before family, friends, and community members. The evening was a celebration not only of style and poise but also of community spirit, friendship, and the enduring Tumbarumba tradition of the Debutante Ball — a night to remember for all who attended.

Event organisers expressed their pride in the young participants and gratitude to the community for their support. “It’s been wonderful to see these young people grow in confidence and grace over the past 13 weeks,” organisers said. “Their commitment, enthusiasm, and the support from families and the wider Tumbarumba community made the night truly special.”
