We had many many happy years learning Ballroom and Latin American dancing here. The dancing school opened in March, 1960 in St. Joseph’s School Hall in Ragpath Lane, Norton. The teachers were Brian Allen, Veronica O’Neil, and Joyce Roberts. Colin Allen, Brian’s twin brother had a huge input also. It moved to Maritime Road and closed in July, 1985.

I remember these twins Brian & Colin Allen when they used to dance at Smith & Jaques in the upstairs room in the old Malleble Club in the 50s.
