Waldorf Hilton to recapture 1920’s elegance and glamour

The Elegantly restored Palm Court Ballroom

Dust off your ballroom shoes for a truly unique and Nostalgic Event of the year!

Waldorf Hilton plan to recapture the 1920's glamour and elegance with a revival event of what was once the highlight of London's Social Elite calendar the famous 'Tango Tea' dance.

As part of the build up to its 100-year anniversary celebrations, the Waldorf Hilton is reintroducing what was once London’s most famed event in the 20s.

'Tango Tea' is being brought back to Palm Court, the hotel’s exquisitly refurbished and uniquely grand centrepiece ballroom where the socialites have danced and dined since the hotel’s opening in 1908.

Tango Tea Dance

Following the popularity of TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing highlighting the growing interest in dance, a one-off event is being planned for Sunday 10^th June 2007, after which the hotel hopes to make it a more regular event from the autumn.

Daniel Van Wyk, Operations Director at the hotel, said: "The Waldorf is a London institution which throughout its history has held close ties with London society".

"In the past two years the hotel has undergone a £35 million refurbishment to restore the property to its former glory with a contemporary feel for the modern day guest".

"We are planning a host of exciting events in the build up to our main 'Centenary Celebration Party' in January next year begining with 'Tango Tea' where we will be offering people the chance to step back in time to where the air breathed 'Elegance'."

The main event will run from 2-5pm with an electric atmosphere created by a five-piece percussion band with music from Jazz not Jazz Productions. Guests will also be entertained with a show from professional dancers before being invited to take to the dance floor.

Simply Dancing Partners will be bringing along its team of male and female dance partners to the event and introducing its unique style of dance lessons to the Waldorf so that guests attending the 'Tango Tea Dance' can learn, or brush up on their dance skills and practice some of the dance moves in advance.

Lessons

Lessons will be available in two one-hour sessions from 12-2pm covering a selection of Ballroom and Latin dances.

Waldorf Hilton’s famous Champagne Afternoon Tea will be served. The tea includes finger sandwiches, Waldorf baked scones and clotted cream, plus a selection of Patisserie Chef Colin Bennett’s exquisite cakes accompanied by a selection of fresh leaf teas and a glass of champagne.

'Tango Tea' will be priced at £55 per person and includes:
