Well I can mash potato, well I can do the twist…
Palais de Danse is bringing the sights, sounds, smell and feel of dance halls to The Big Feast 2024. It’s a multi-sensory flashback (with a modern ‘Twist’) to a night out in late-1950s Britain.
With teenage rituals, sugared petticoats and powder puffs, caddish fellows, dancing the ‘Pony’ and girls breaking the ballroom rules, this ballroom blitz is feel-good fun suitable for all ages.
