Description

After you walk up the stairs and step into history, notice the vast space between the relatively small stage and the tables around the walls. The Casa Loma Ballroom is a remnant of the days when clubs were designed to give dancers room to move, and this same space has seen more than a million rugs cut in its seven-plus decades.

    Tales of the Grotesque and Burlesque

    In 1840, the collection Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque gathered together many of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories under one cover, including "The Fall of the House of Usher," "Morella" and "Ligeia." While the term "grotesque" is entirely... More »

  • 2010 | Best Place to Slow Dance

    Sure, Cherokee Street is having a resurgence, with new shops, galleries and restaurants opening all the time, but the Casa Loma Ballroom is no new kid on the block. For more than 50 years, the Casa Loma has been offering lessons, private events and the sweet magic of a romantic night out to the St. Louis masses. Friday nights offer the chance to dance to such local big bands as Second Generation Swing, the Ambassadors of Swing or the Original Knights of Swing. So get gussied up, grab your... More »

  • 2006 | Best Place to Do the Time Warp

    It's Friday night, and a few dozen folks--a mix of senior couples and gaggles of curious college kids--have paid the eight-bucks admission to the Casa Loma. Once upon a time, this grand old ballroom with its majestic wooden dance floor--5,000 square feet of tongue-and-groove honey maple that "floats" atop an inch of gentle-on-the-knees rubber--played host to rug cutters from across the Midwest who grooved to live sets from the likes of Benny Goodman, Bill Haley and Ol' Blue...

  • 2004 | Best Place to Slow-Dance

    Most of the time, the Casa Loma Ballroom is empty and filled with sound, like a David Lynch movie. There must be some reason the brass band plays on despite its well-oiled wood dance floor being almost vacant on any given Friday night. And that purpose might be so that a wayward couple, perhaps at a crossroads, will wander in and feel compelled to waltz. Time stands still, problems disappear, torsos touch. Instantly the couple is transported back to, say, high school, and the brass morphs... More »

    Great place to go for swing dancing on the nights when they are featuring bands such as Miss Jubilee & The Humdingers or Hudson & the Hoodoo Cats. Big, smooth dance floor with plenty of seating and an energetic vibe!
