Let's Dance: A Celebration of Ontario's Dance Halls and Summer Dance
Pavilions is a nostalgic musical journey, recapturing the unforgettable
music of youth and lasting friendships, the days when the live mellow
sounds of Big Bands wafted through the air - Louis Armstrong, the Dorsey
Brothers, Bert Niosi, Art Hallman, Johnny Downs, Mart Kenney, Bobby
Kinsman, Ronnie Hawkins ... Throughout the 1920s to the '60s, numerous
legendary entertainers drew thousands of people to such memorable venues
as the Brant Inn in Burlington, Dunn's Pavilion in Bala, the Stork Club
at Port Stanley, to the Club Commodore in Belleville and the Top Hat
Pavilion in North Bay - and the hundreds of other popular dance venues
right across Ontario. From the days of jitney dancing through the
introduction of jazz and the Big Bands era to the sounds of some of
Ontario's best rock groups, people of all ages came to dance and some to
find romance on soft summer nights.
