Shall we dance?
The words ‘Shall we dance?’ evoke fond memories of dances held at the Rivoli dance hall, Parramatta, many years ago. Not that I can remember those actual words being said by a prospective dance partner though. After all, we were westies, and ‘Shall we dance’ was probably more suited to the North Shore. The invitation to dance was more likely to be ‘Wanna dance?’ or just an indistinct mutter. The more confident and better looking boys could get away with an extended hand accompanied by a smile and a slight nod of the head towards the dance floor.
