Glen Echo Park Spanish Ballroom
Address: 7300 MacArthur Blvd, Glen Echo, MD 20812
Glen Echo Park is a preserved amusement park and is one of the treasures of Washington D.C.. In addition to a historic carousel, the park also features an enormous ballroom that has been featuring dancing for over a century.
The current ballroom has been restored to its appearance in 1933 and is one of only a handful of remaining historic ballrooms on the East Coast of the United States that would regularly host big bands during the swing era.
All of the classes and dances will be held at Glen Echo Park.
