The Beach Ballroom is an art deco building on the beach boulevard of Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] It is home to one of Scotland's finest dance floors – famous for its bounce – which floats on fixed steel springs. It was built in 1926, and is a Category B listed building.[2]
The Beach Ballroom is owned and operated by Aberdeen City Council.[3] The Beach Ballroom is also the site of a webcam that faces South, along the beach towards Footdee.[4] The Ballroom is connected to the more modern Beach Leisure Centre via an indoor walkway.
The main dance hall is octagonal and originally had a domed ceiling, though this has since been covered over with a suspended ceiling. The smaller Star Ballroom extension was opened in June 1963.[5]
The Ballroom underwent a refurbishment from 2008 to April 2010.[6][7]
