Dances: 1928

Twin Cities Music Highlights Posted on June 29, 1928 by SCookJune 29, 2019

On May 26, 1928, there was a dance at Olson’s Hall in Hopkins, featuring the University Troubadours, a Hot Six-Piece Band.  No apparent reason to say where Olson’s Hall was.

 

600 guests attended the U of M’s 1928 Senior Prom, which took place in the Gold, Spanish, and Italian Rooms of the Radisson Hotel.  There was pre-prom entertainment at 10:30 pm, the Grand March at 11, and a dance that called for “16 dances besides two extras.”  Dinner was finally served after midnight, with more entertainment staged during dinner.

 

The folks down Hopkins way had a dance every Saturday summer night at the Oak Knoll Barn on Superior Boulevard (now I-394) with music by Ernie and His Oriole Syncopators.  Gents 50 cents, Ladies free.  On October 20 it was a masquerade – “A real good time for all”

An “Endurance Dance” was held starting on Monday, June 18, 1928.  See Dance Marathons.
