The Towers in Narragnasett

Road Trip! Hour and a half to see the seaside resort town and what is left of its casino, an intricate building with circular corners and turrets. Inside, on the third level, the circles widen the dance floor which is sort of skinny, especially when it has chairs lining the long sides. The floor was clean and charmingly patterned with a herringbone design. On the end, a fabulous balcony looks over the ocean and a nearby restaurant.
Thanks to a local connection, we found Trio's and ate an excellent meal on a patio with the ocean breeze. Good service meant we were not late for the band, Reminisce, specializing in Doo-wop with a nod to the recent movie, "Jersey Boys". For the best ballroom dancing, other bands play a more varied assortment of tempos, but the beautiful summer day included a trip to the Newport Hall of Fame Tennis Tournament for some of us.
