You're right , MargaretR. The stage was 4 to 5 foot high-I remember the MC running down the steps to separate you if you dared to dance with your bodies touching, even in a waltz! Times have changed.
So we were both regulars in the late 50s? Just think, we may have danced together- eat your heart out, Less.
I remember queuing up for the New Years Eve tickets-the queue went right down the steps and along the road-you just
had to have tickets for that night.
Wyonie, you're right- almost everyone had to stand up, there were just seats along one or two of the walls- the girls all sat there, the boys all stood at the other side-it took a lot of courage to walk right across the empty dance floor to ask a girl for a dance and a lot more courage to walk back alone when she said 'No'.
