To know more:

The Tea Dance Party, or "tea dansant" in French, was an autumnal dancing afternoon, which since the 1800s has spread as a social moment much appreciated in French and Anglo-Saxon countries.

The habit of meeting to drink (mainly tea and coffee, but also other hot, cold or alcoholic drinks like punch), to eat (biscuits, cookies, sweets and savory appetizers) and to dance, in the afternoon, turns into a real traditional ritual.

In the decades we move from the Walzer, to the Tango, to the Charleston in the 1920s, following the trend of the tastes of the time; however the habit of "dancing tea" remains in the culture, to then spread in Europe and overseas.

In the 20th century in England and America the Tea Dance Parties become a distinctive cultural reference of the stately society that attends these receptions and later the term is expanded by referring generically to the afternoon dance events.
