The classic big band Standing Room Only (SRO) with vocalist Saffron Bradbury is staging its next Almonte “Tea Dance” in the 2025-2026 season in two weeks on Sunday March 1st. These dances feature a variety of music for ballroom and swing dancers including swing, waltzes, and Latin (cha chas, tangos, rumbas, etc.), and are held in the Almonte Old Town Hall Auditorium. The doors open at 1:00 pm and dancing is from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Admission is $20 per person at the door (CASH ONLY). Reservations are not required. Light refreshments including delicious treats and a range of non-alcoholic beverages will be available at very reasonable prices (CASH ONLY). The Almonte Old Town Hall has its own parking lot, and there’s lots of additional parking on nearby streets. The Almonte Old Town Hall is a beautiful classic old building located at 14 Bridge Street in the lovely town of Almonte, about a 35-minute drive from downtown Ottawa. The dances take place in the Auditorium on the top floor of the building (there's an elevator), a beautifully preserved venue with a clean and spacious wooden dance floor, natural lighting, and wonderful acoustics. This dance will once again feature vocalist Saffron Bradbury. Saffron has sung with jazz and pop bands, and in an acapella female quartet. She has sung on cruise ships in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. She has sung at casinos, weddings, funerals, birthdays, house concerts, and street parties. Her many years of experience and her versatile voice will contribute to an enjoyable Sunday afternoon.
