"At the Ball" is a song sung by Jaq and Gus from Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. When Prince Charming's memory is put under a spell, thanks to Lady Tramaine to make him believe Anastasia was the one he danced with at the ball, Jaq and Gus use this song to put him back on track. It also pushes him to find his true love and go after Cinderella and bring her back to the castle and marry her.
In 2016, the song was added to the Disney Cruise Line musical Twice Charmed as part of the revamp of the books score, in that Jaq and Gus explain to the Prince and The Grand Duke, after rejecting Anastasia, that the girl the two are looking for is Cinderella.
