The district also has a long history of holding major dance festivals and there are plenty of dance schools where children can take their first steps into the dancing world.
Dance continues to take a major role today in many local events including the Vintage by the Sea festival with many people also enjoying dancing at The Platform in Morecambe.
With this in mind, we’ve taken a look through our photo archives for pictures related to Lancaster and Morecambe’s dancing past. We hope you enjoy our selection of nostalgic dance photos through the years.
