The Venue

Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts
590 Main Street
Melrose, MA 02176


One of the most distinctive performance centers on the North Shore, Melrose’s Memorial Hall was dedicated on Dec. 14, 1912 in patriotic remembrance of the brave soldiers and sailors of the Civil War. It has its own grand organ, dedicated in 1919 as a memorial to the veterans of World War I. The Grand Army of the Republic Hall (GAR) is located in the upstairs portion of the building.

I hope you enjoy my articles and what I am doing with my hobby.

I have been dancing ballroom for about 1 1/2 years and got my start with a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity under the name Dancing with the Realtors.
