It was quite a glamorous week for us in Los Angeles with themed parties every night of the week. We hosted one of the most luxe events on the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills this past Tuesday night – the masquerade party was an event unlike any other!

We danced and splashed on the pool deck in gold sequined swimsuits with brand new choreography. Each song brought out a new style, truly showing how talented our ‘Lillies are!

Michelle, the dance co-captain of our Los Angeles team, was also multi tasking as event coordinator for the Masquerade. “We were overwhelmed with RSVPs leading up to the event,” she explained as the guest list reached capacity. As one of the main reasons for the event was to showcase a new nightlife set, “there were several event companies, as well as great hotel chains that were able to attend,” Michelle said as she held back a huge smile, “it’s always exciting performing for potential clients!”

Mesha Kussman, Aqualillies’ Creative Director, later added that “it was a thrill for us to be able to invite our LA fan base and to have such an amazing venue to show our stuff. We are talking with the Thompson Hotel about doing it again next year. Maybe we’ll make a ritual out of it.”

The exciting new synchronized swimming choreography was lead by Mary Jeanette, the Executive Director (she’s a synchronized swimmer herself!). Each one of the swimmers gave endless energy to the event. Mary later said, “the whole night sparkled – the girls, the pool, and the guests! There were so many show stopping moments, it was very special to swim in this performance.”
