I FEEL the published reply on July 2 from Steve Piper to the recent letter ‘Let’s see dancing in the ballroom again’ has in my opinion missed the point.
I believe the original letter was probably referring to the regular Saturday or mid week ballroom dances, which took place with live local dance bands in the 1960s, 70s and 80s at a reasonably priced entrance fee.
The one off gala type balls planned by Mr Piper are usually highly priced events, thereby excluding a high proportion of the general ballroom dancing public.
