The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to report the inaugural thé dansant went down a storm in the Palm Court Tea Rooms yesterday. Delighted visitors danced away the afternoon to the tuneful sounds of Rex Morello and His Mellow Tones, with the cha-cha-cha, waltz and foxtrot proving a great hit. Rex and his mellow men provided a charming selection of dance tunes, from the ever-popular Ivor Novello to Alma Bailey-Beltoy and Guy Lombardo, with continental charm provided by Maurice Flambée. Gloria Rocquefort and Raymond Trumpington's fine footwork during an especially racy tango drew all eyes. The band’s rendition of Bob Tanner and His Skillet Lickers' toe-tapping 'Turkey in the Straw' brought the afternoon to a thunderous finish. Tea and fancy cakes were served.
Further thé dansants are planned for the coming months, and tickets are available at Miss Parchington's École de Danse, and also from the Museum Gift Shop.
