Hollywood Ballroom has lost a long-time dancer and friend.  Gloria Miller passed away on September 5, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, following a period of illness.

Gloria was a “regular” at Hollywood Ballroom going back to the 1990’s when Bobbie Fries owned the ballroom.  She volunteered for planning special events such as National Ballroom Week, holiday parties, etc.  She and her many friends had their own regular table and spent countless happy hours dancing and socializing.

Most recently as of late 2022, she was a regular Tea Dance volunteer, preparing refreshments and collecting admissions, and, of course, dancing.  We will especially miss her quick wit, friendly conversation, and her East Coast Swing Leads.  Rest in peace, Gloria.  We will miss you.
