BALLROOM THROWBACKS INTRODUCTION

13 YEARS AGO WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I ENTERED A BALLROOM I BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST BALL I PROBABLY WENT TOO WAS AT THE CLUBHOUSE ON 28TH STREET! I REMEMBER THE FEELING LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY IT FELT LIKE I WALKED THROUGH THIS PORTAL ,THIS UNDERGROUND REALM THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT EXCEPT THE PEOPLE THERE! I SEEN THINGS THAT I NEVER HAD SEEN BEFORE SOMETHINGS I HAD LAUGHED AT, SOMETHINGS ENTERTAINED ME BUT MOST OF ALL IT FASCINATED ME. HERE WAS A PLACE WHERE SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER THAT WAS DIFFERENT AND THEY CAME THERE FOR ACCEPTANCE. HERE IS A PLACE TO PAY HOMAGE TO THOSE DAYS AND ALLOW THE NEW GENERATION TO APPRECIATE BALLROOM HISTORY ROOTS AND THE OLDER GENERATION TO RELIVE IT.BALLROOM THROWBACKS IS HERE TO BRING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT TO CARRY INTO THE FUTURE ENJOY!
