What are Tea Dances

Following Afternoon Tea's "invention" in 1842, British aristocracy soon figured out that this social happening even became more enjoyable when accompanied by music. When tango and charleston arrived in Europe at the start of the 20th century, it was a small step only to transform afternoon teas into a dance events. The Tea Dance Craze had ignited and that's what this event brings to Zurich!
