TOWN HALL DANCE
Last Saturday night the first heat of the 1938 Town Hall Dancing Championship was held, and the entries far exceeded expectations. The judges, Mr George Cox and Mr S. Brown, representing Miss Wallace’s Dancing Studio, had no easy task in selecting the winners, for all the entrants revealed a high standard and thorough understanding of the present-day style of ballroom dancing. To-hight the second heat will be held, and this will give the couples who were not selected a further chance of qualifying for the final. The winners of the final will again this year be sent to Australia, all expenses being paid, to represent the Town Hall dance in the Australasian Championship to be held in Melbourne at the end of the year, when prize money totalling £SOO will be distributed. The dance to-night will be held in the Concert Chamber. Music will be supplied by the Savonia Dance Band, with Mr James McFarlane at the microphone.
