Danceland, a Saskatchewan Landmark
This unique dance hall was built around 1919 and is located in Manitou Beach, SK. Danceland, harkens back to an era when couples waltzed to orchestras, and visited with old friends until the wee hours. In the early to mid 1900s, touring bands, such as, Duke Ellington and Lawrence Welk played for hundreds of dancers. The men paid .10 per dance or .25 for 3 dances, while the women danced free.
What makes Danceland unique, is the sub floor which was laid with bales of horse tail imported from Quebec. The six inches of horsehair gives the floor it’s spring. There were similar dance halls in Seattle, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. None of them remain today.
Yes, you can still go dancing there! Open year round.
