There’s a sense of understated grandeur about the ballroom of the Apollo Dance Club in Moreton.
The building, formerly a roller rink which played host to Merseybeat icons like The Beatles and The Undertakers, is now home to Merrall’s Dance Centre, which, over the past five decades, has established itself as something of an institution in the ballroom world.
The trophy-laden shelves allude to generations of success - to a catalogue of victories and, of course, copious amounts of glitter and fake tan. There’s a cacophony of shoes on wood as a flock of young dancers take to the floor amid the first strains of a cha-cha rumbling through the speakers.
