Old-Time Ballroom

Old-Time Ballroom was a variety television series from Australia that aired on Melbourne's ABV-2 and Sydney's ABN-2 channels during Saturday evenings. The show initially presented a four-episode run in September 1959, followed by a subsequent series spanning from December 1959 through January 1960. It is possible that further series were produced in the early 1960s.

This program took over the broadcast slot formerly occupied by Saturday Party and was shortly thereafter replaced by The Saturday Show. Delivered live, the series showcased ballroom dancing alongside musical performances, regularly featuring the ABC Melbourne Dance Band. Among the prominent guests appearing in the first series were jugglers The Muracs, vocalists June Hamilton, Geoff Brooke, Des McGee, Pat Grierson, trapeze performer Nicky Colcos, dance-caller Bert Cartledge, and the novelty entertainer Tex Glanville.

Because of the irregular archival methods common at the time, it is unclear how many episodes still exist. Nevertheless, the National Film and Sound Archive holds at least one episode along with a related item.
