6 Blackpool meets Shanghai
Print Edition
Chinese dancers Zhang Aimadi and Jia Haoyue, winners of the Blackpool 2018 Under 21 Latin competition, gave a performance at the legendary Paramount ballroom in Jing’an earlier this month.
The young dance sensations blended the ballroom’s history and Shanghai culture into their performance.
The British Blackpool Dance Festival is known as the “Olympics of ballroom dancing.”
The 85-year-old Paramount ballroom, one of the most glamorous dance halls of the Far East in the 1930s, played an important role in introducing ballroom dancing and popularizing it in China. The ballroom is celebrated as the site where Charlie Chaplin once danced, “golden voice” Zhou Xuan once crooned and movie queen Hu Die once got engaged.
This year, the Paramount ballroom dancing alliance was formed to better promote its history and culture.
