Northern Soul April Ball

We are happy to announce that the Empress Building will host another evening of entertainment. This will be a fantastic evening jam-packed with Soul and Motown classics.

The greatest in Northern Soul, Motown, R&B, and Modern Soul will be played at the Soul Nights on various occasions throughout the year by local guest DJs HINCHY & YOGi, who will cater to all musical interests.

ABOUT THE BALLROOM

The Empress Ballroom, which dates to the 1920s, has hosted a number of prestigious events and still has its original opulent furnishings and lofty ceilings. The vintage ballroom sprung dance floor system, which can shield dancers from minor muscle or joint injuries, is the key feature.

This cutting-edge dance flooring can even prolong a dancer's career while preventing accidents by providing a more supportive surface. The performance of a dancer may not be significantly affected by micro injuries in the short term, but continued usage of solid or unsprung flooring can lead to the development of more severe injuries. Sprung dance floors improve performance by reducing dancer tiredness by making a more forgiving surface and returning used energy rather than absorbing it. This allows you to dance further into the night, but only at the Empress Building.

PARTY BOOKINGS

Whenever a special occasion arises, such as a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, engagement, etc. If your group is big, reserve a table for at least ten people. Request table trimming from the staff, and they will do it for FREE with balloons and other trimmings to have it ready for you when you arrive.

You can choose from a variety of dining options at The Empress Building, including pizza, pie and peas, goan cuisine, and full-set buffet selections.
