Shanghai’s elderly waltz back to the past at lunchtime dance halls

TOPSHOT - This photo taken on December 11, 2025 shows couples dancing at the Paramount Ballroom in the Jing'An district of Shanghai. It was just a regular Wednesday at a lunchtime dance club in Shanghai, where dance hall culture has been deeply rooted in the city's identity since its jazz-age heyday. On any given day, multiple venues host hours-long daytime sessions across the finance hub, some starting as early as 6 am. Establishments like the historic Paramount Ballroom are time capsules from the 1930s, while others flash with neon pink and green rave lights in the early afternoon.
