Palladium Ballroom
The Palladium Ballroom was a second-floor dancehall on 53rd and Broadway in New York City which became famous for its excellent Latin music. At the end of World War II people began moving from Puerto Rico to New York City in large numbers (NYC's Puerto Rican population was about 100,000 in 1940 and 600,000 in 1960) and the popularity of swing, foxtrot, big band, etc was waning.
