I enjoyed reading this, Hugh. When I was a kid, the Salon Bal was one of those mysterious places grown-ups went to. In the 1950s there was some kind of ballroom dancing class. Half grown-up, we went to that. Sorry to see it go but it was a place of its time.

Thanks, Joan and Geraldine.
Geraldine, I guess your memory would have been before it was the Melody Ballroom: that opened in October 1960. Does the class in this 1954 sound like the one you went to?
