Rendezvous Ballroom
The Rendezvous Ballroom was a large dance hall built in 1928, located on the beach of Balboa Peninsula in Southern California, United States. The 1920s were the heyday of public dancing to the music of popular bands and orchestras, and large ballrooms were built in most urban areas, and even on Catalina Island, 26 miles off the California coast.
No expense was spared in the construction of the ballroom, which was a city block long, and half a block wide. It featured reinforced concrete walls, a "floating" hard wood floor and a tile roof. After a fire in 1935 the ballroom was rebuilt with an arched roof supported by sectional girders of wood in a criss-cross pattern, the same as used in the nearby blimp hangers for the Marine Corps.
The Rendezvous Ballroom caught fire again in 1966, and was never rebuilt. The site now has beachfront condominiums.
==Famous performers==
Among the notables who played the Rendezvouz was surf-rock guitarist Dick Dale. When Dale began performing at the Rendeous in 1962, attendance jumped from several hundred to a capacity crowd of 4,000 on his nights. When Dale left for the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 1962, attendance at the Rendezvous dropped to pre-Dale levels.
