Now its sixty cents a dance; Dance hostesses are back again at the Hammersmith
Now its sixty cents a dance; Dance hostesses are back again at the Hammersmith Palais de Danse but times have changed since those 1939 days. The sixpenny dance tickets have been abolished and the more serious type of patron encouraged by the substitution of set fees of three shillings for a quarter of an hour, or 10 shillings per hour.
John McGregor usually brings his own partner but tonight he ll dance with one of the Palais girls

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a nostalgic moment at the Hammersmith Palais de Danse, where dance hostesses have made a comeback. However, times have changed since the days of 1939. Gone are the sixpenny dance tickets, replaced by set fees of three shillings for a quarter of an hour or 10 shillings per hour, attracting a more serious type of patron. In this joyful scene from 1947's dance party season, we see John McGregor stepping out with one of the Palais girls. Usually accompanied by his own partner, tonight he embraces the opportunity to share a dance with these talented hostesses. The atmosphere is festive and filled with celebration as people come together to enjoy music and entertainment. The Hammersmith Palais de Danse remains a hub for fun-filled evenings that transport its visitors back in time. This image reminds us of an era when dancing was not just an art form but also a way to connect and celebrate life's moments. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, there will always be spaces like the Hammersmith Palais de Danse that bring happiness and joy through music and movement. As we delve into this vintage news archive photograph from TopFoto's stock photo library, we can't help but feel captivated by the charm and nostalgia it exudes.
