Fact #2371

Highett Public Hall is opened in Moorabbin, Victoria, Australia, with a dance at which music is provided by "the Moorabbin Band, under the direction of Mr Brine", which "allowed young and old to perform old time dances while the youth Charlestoned gaily around the floor. This new dance craze amongst the younger members using 'every known step and some unknown' brought expressions of admiration from some onlookers."
