In English we say something "takes balls" ... as if you must have testicles to make you behave so ... if it involves asserting yourself rashly or with disregard for manners.I guess it's possible you are pretending to be innocent, but I'm explaining just in case.

Something like this is said also in Italian but...On Web I found 'ball' also as a variant of 'dancing party' or 'festival' ... What is the word for this kind of dated very upperclass/ royal thing? Byeeeeeeee

Ball is the only one I know of. Or at least, it's the only one that I have heard used to describe such a thing. A formal partner-dance party.
