Borrowing many of dances of Ballroom, the Tea Dance traditionally is a set of dances which takes place after tea and in couples. The dances practiced are such as the quickstep Tango, the Waltz, the Charleston and more.

Tea Dances were at the height of success at the beginning of the 1900’s, with middle class friends meeting in each others gardens for tea and dancing. In the 1920’s the dances became more of an event and various styles of dance slipped their way in and became common place. The Cha Cha, Charleston and Foxtrot all made their name.

At these Tea Dances many types of music are played form Big Band to Classical music for waltzing the day away.
