Dancehall @ Cast - 11-19/09/15

The story of Doncaster from the dance floor

First dances at the Co-op Ballroom through to smooches at Top Rank. Boy on one side of the tracks meets girl from the other at Romeo and Juliet’s, whilst The Beatles play St James’s baths, the Sex Pistols storm Outlook and Bowie rocks Silver Street. Broken heels at Seventh Heaven to broken hearts at Parklands…

Taking in dance floor crazes and fashion trends, Dancehall is our story.
