About Sunnybrook Ballroom
SunnyBrook is one of the few remaining dance halls of the pre-World War II era still in existence. It began as a swimming club in 1926. In 1931, after the depression, the ballroom was constructed. During the big band era of the 1930's and 1940's the ballroom rose to prominence as one of the country's great dance floors. Throughout the heyday of big band music, the historic ballroom was a regular stop on the tours of all of the era's big bands. Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra are just a few of the names of nationally known performers who filled the room with the music of the era.
