"The Rialto was an iconic former ballroom in Stoke town centre which opened over 90 years ago but has lain empty for a decade. It has now been returned to its former glory and been given a new lease of life as the home of K.Dee.K Danceworks. The renovation has brought this magnificent art-deco ballroom right up to date but with a sensitive nod to it's rich heritage. The Rialto has had a glorious past being a welcome distraction to many young dancers during the war years, including many American GI's with whom it was popular. Over the years it has been a cinema, restaurant, shopping arcade and a Conservative club. It is one of the oldest ballrooms in Stoke-on-Trent, a city that has an impressive reputation for dancing."
