REMARKS: The Spanish Ballroom is a superb dance venue. Built in 1933 and restored in 2003, the art deco style ballroom has a wonderfully bouncy, 7,500 SF maple floor which can handle 6 lines of contradancers.
This was the first dance after the break -- 4-5 lines of dancers before, 3-4 lines after the break.
