dance hall
Big band venue
A dance hall is a large public venue where people pay admission to dance, typically to live or recorded music.
The term evokes earlier eras—the swing halls of the 1940s, the ballrooms where couples waltzed—though modern dance clubs serve the same function.
In reggae and Caribbean music, dancehall refers to a genre that emerged from such venues: dancehall reggae, a dancehall DJ.
