Casa Loma Ballroom, Historic dance hall in Gravois Park, St. Louis, US.
Casa Loma Ballroom is a dance hall in St. Louis featuring a spacious dance floor and an elevated gallery overlooking the main room. The facility includes multiple areas designed for dancing, music performances, and social gatherings.
The building was constructed in 1927 as Cinderella Recreation Hall and served as an entertainment venue from its opening. A fire in 1940 prompted major renovations that led to its use as a broadcast location for radio performances.
The ballroom served as a gathering place for jazz ensembles and orchestral musicians who performed here regularly throughout its history. The space represents an era when dancing and live performances were central to social entertainment.
Visitors can take dance lessons in waltz, fox trot, tango, and Latin styles before attending evening performances. The venue is well-suited for people interested in dancing and enjoying live orchestral music.
The dance floor was built with materials that create a springy effect, making movement easier on the body and joints during dancing. This construction detail remains a valued feature that dancers notice immediately upon stepping onto the floor.
