Date: 15 May 2005
Venue: City Hall
Project Description:
A fun afternoon for the 'young at heart' of all ages and all generations. The Cork Pops Orchestra's 'Tea Dance' was devised by Gerry Kelly and grew from the successful Millennium Tea Dance project ‘The Young at Heart’ which took place in Cork city and county with the assistance of the National Millennium Committee and the Millennium Committees of Cork City and Cork County Council.
Entertainment was provided by the Cork Pops Orchestra conducted by Evelyn Grant, lecturer at the Cork School of Music and presenter with RTÉ LyricFM. Dancers enjoyed a range of music from Johann Strauss to Abba and demonstrated their dancing skills in waltzes, tangos, twosteps and a bit of rock 'n' roll.
