Hardly anything is as English as the English dance music. Since the 1920s, it has not only conquered indigenous ballrooms, but ballrooms around the world. With its incomparable elegance and perfection, orchestras like those of Henry Hall, Roy Fox, Jack Payne and others, inspired listeners and dancers.
