The Mayflower Hotel

Washington DC a Personal Note:

The Mayflower HotelIn the middle of Washington DC stands the traditional hotel, The Mayflower. Here on the first floor is one of the best Ballrooms produced in this magnificent city during the 50s. Its decor, presence in this city, and pomp-when it is dressed up with elaborate decorations-is simply awsome. I danced there several times.

Living right across the street at the LaSalle offered me a chance to check in at the desk to find out about coming dance events If I was not working, or being additionally trained at either Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire, I would be dancing that night. Nothing could stop me-except when the money went low-even then I would sacrafice a little to get in, and buy the dance ticket.
