Ever wondered what the floor is like? Is there even a dance floor? Carpet, concrete or wood? Let me help you out. Here is a list of some dance venues with some hints about what you may find when you get there!
| Venue | Notes | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Arthur Murray Dance Studio, Leichhardt | The Dance Studio is upstairs with an excellent, wood effect floor is slippery and spacious with mirrors down one side. Opposite the mirrors is a good sized seating area and bar. | 10/10 |
| Ashfield RSL, Ashfield | The dance floor is upstairs and traditional sprung wood surrounded by carpet. At one end, plastic flooring has been added to extend the dance area. | 7/10 |
| Freeway Hotel, Artarmon | The area is split into three, a larger, lower carpeted area a middle section (polished wood, sprung) shared with the band and a smaller upper carpeted area. This is an excellent venue for dancers – somewhere to sit and chat with easy access to a slippery spung dance floor. | 8/10 |
| Pratton Park Bowling Club, Ashfield | The main hall is spring wood with the band at one end and tables and chairs surrounding it. Yes, the floor is slippery. | 7/10 |
| Miss Celie’s, Ashfield | There is no specific dance area at Miss Celie’s although you may be able to squeeze in a few turns between tables or by the sofas. Carpet or concrete depending where you are in the venue. | 3/10 |
| Paddo RSL, Paddington | Downstairs there is a stage with a carpeted area in front. There is plenty of space (between tables) to dance but it is all on carpet. | 4/10 |
| St Peter’s Presbyterian Church Hall, North Sydney | A large venue with stage and excellent dance wood-effect floor. The dance floor is probably the most slippery you’ll come across and sprung (so your knees are safe). | 9/10 |
