So what's your favourite dance floor, I realise it's only personal opinion. I've purposely not asked for the least favourite as that could be a bit contentious :)

In no particular order

Stoke

Aqua (do they still have soul nights there)

Rugby (both rooms)

Willington

Goodyears

Brighouse Ritz

That'll do for a start, any others worth a mention?

:wink:

Can't make the pic any bigger so can't read what it says above the door, where is it?

Just thought of another one I like, the Parkway club in peterborough

Winnie, Riley Smith Hall is at Tadcaster, nr York :D

I'm the type of person who can dance on barbed wire if a song I love is played, but I do like Rugby, Radcliffe and Easington dancefloors

Soul Sam would be a definite and if it doesn't fall on the same night as snooks in June, then that's a strong possibility :thumbsup:

Just checked and sadly it does clash June 9th. I really would have liked to go have gone to Snooks that night too .. Doh ..

:( ...Never mind Rich, there's always October :thumbsup: Oxford looks good too, so I'll be trying that sometime (but not in June obviously :D )

Not currently in use, but notre dame hall in London was pretty special !

Empire Hall in Southampton has a pretty good large dance floor as good as Rugby imho, Wilton superb, Lifeline, Bisley sometimes. Kent soul Club to name a few

No worries Richie, I'll get there for either Sean or Moldie's night :thumbsup:

Absolutely exquisite floor, and any night that had Rixy as a resident was going to be a winner :thumbsup:

As far as nighters go Wilton is good, as is Lifeline and Derby Assembly Rooms (especially the second room).

Soul night wise Burscough is great!

As you've brought up 'worst floors', can't agree with you about Sheridans being a good floor (and I loved the venue) when the condensation hit it, it became like an ice rink. I liked the little floor in the other room and actually don't mind the 100 club dance floor either :)

but thats what i like ...ice rink every time :thumbup:

Definately "The Wilton" for me, even though i tripped on some talc the first time i ever walked across it many years ago. (You really did'nt need talc) Broke my wrist....where was all the "Where there's blame there's a claim" people back then eh? :glare:

Also agree with Tony P (for once) :P Heywood Civic! and with Joan Burscough Legion. :thumbsup:

but thats what i like ...ice rink every time :thumbup:

I went to Bridlington for first time last year and nearly slipped flat on my ar$e as soon as I stepped onto the floor in the main room :D . Was a great floor though once I got my Bambi balance back :thumbsup:

And avoid the trapdoor. :lol:

I never minded the 100 club dancefloor when I was there, certainly never stopped me from dancing

Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen - lovely floor

Sheff city hall was great on the main floor.

Best one in Sheffield K G B in the 70,s a real sprung dance floor

No brainer really. Bridlington Spa.

Almost brand new, air conditioned (note the grills around the side), seen the roof?

Also in a stonking venue right on the East coast seafront.

Might be seen as a little biased as am involved with the venue in a small way but it really is a stunning dancefloor.

That is pretty impressive I must say. Imagine it full of like minded folk dancing to Eddie Parker :thumbup:
