dinner dance
Formal supper ball
A dinner dance is a formal social event combining a sit-down meal with dancing, typically held in a hotel ballroom or banquet hall.
Organizations host dinner dances as fundraisers or celebrations: The charity's annual dinner dance raised fifty thousand dollars.
The format—dinner followed by a band or DJ—remains popular for proms, galas, and corporate events.
