Benbow Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I don't recall the Attercliffe Dance halls but I do remember the Locarno at the bottom of the moor, a regular haunt of mine in the fifties. Does anyone remember the Azena at Gleadless? I lived on Lister Crescent, a short walk from there, and I was a regular there on Saturdays in the late 50's. Also The Embassy Ballroom at Intake - I had a few last wattz's there as well. Anyone go to Constance Grants dance classes and there was a popular dance "studio" at the bottom of the Peace Gardens, can't remember the name. Slow, smoochy foxtrots were a favourite of mine - close and friendly.......... Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo beach Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Had a few dance lessons at Constance Grants in the 50's. Think it was on West Street. I remember the Locarno when it was a traditional ballroom before it was transformed into Tiffanys - complete with plastic palm trees! Also went to the Greystones Ballroom a few times. Sheffield United Supporters Club used to hold dances there in the 50's. Benbow, I too used to live at Gleadless and frequented the Azena in the early 60's. The admission price was one shilling, if I remember correctly. One day in 1962 a new band was booked and the price went up to half a crown which we weren't willing to pay. What an opportunity we missed because that band was the Beatles! Six months later and they were packing the City Hall. If only we could have seen the future. Never did see the Beatles live although subsequently I have seen McCartney in concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
