Dance hall

Dance hall in its general meaning is a hall for dancing.

The majority of towns and cities in the West had at least one dance hall, and almost always featured live musicians playing a range of music from strict tempo ballroom dance music to big band, swing and jazz. One of the most famous dance hall musicians was Glenn Miller. Other structural forms of dance halls include the dance pavilion which has a roof but no walls, and the open-air platform which has no roof or walls. The open air nature of the dance pavilion was both a feature and a drawback. The taxi dance hall is a dance hall with a specific arrangement, wherein the patrons hire hall employees to dance with them. Starting in the early 1930s, The Savoy, a dance hall in Harlem was the first truly integrated building in the United States — for both the dancers and the musicians. "We didn't care about the color of your skin.
