This 1965 ballroom scene at Pontins Dolphin Holiday Camp, Brixham, shows a line of young women taking part in what looks to be a holiday-camp fashion parade, talent contest or judging event, with seated spectators watching from both sides of the hall. The room has a polished dance floor, large picture windows, patterned ceiling panels and a small stage or alcove at the far end, giving it the multi-purpose look typical of camp ballrooms and entertainment rooms in this period. The contestants’ outfits range from casual knitwear and skirts to swimwear and dressier clothes, suggesting one of the mixed-format competitions and social events that formed part of the daytime programme. It is a useful interior view of the Dolphin camp’s entertainment life, showing the sort of organised audience participation that sat alongside dances, cabaret and other communal activities.
