REMARKS: The Spanish Ballroom is a superb dance venue. Built in 1933 and restored in 2003, the art deco style ballroom has a wonderful 7,700 SF sprung maple floor which can handle 6 lines of contradancers.

This was the second-to-last dance before the break. We had four lines of dancers in the first half and three in the second half.
