Dinner dances are among popular social activities for cosmopolitan communities but the romantic dances are slowly dying out in Harare.
Joints in the capital have moved to other forms of entertainment at the expense of dinner dances, which have become a preserve for events such as Valentine’s Day.
However, for Adrienne’s Restaurant at Belgravia shopping centre, every Friday is a romantic day following the introduction of dinner dances.
The restaurant hosts dances under candlelight and diners have had memorable experiences since the programme was introduced recently.
Tonight, a special dinner dance event will be held at the restaurant where couples will be treated to romantic music and delicious cuisine.
Restaurant operator Nicholas Mandeya said diners will have spectacular entertainment every Friday. “We have introduced dinner dances to give our diners something special. Friday night experiences will never be the same at Adrienne’s Restaurant,” said Mandeya.
“The dances target mature patrons want to have fun at the weekend in a romantic atmosphere. They can come to dine, wine and dance.”
He said they would invite jazz outfits to perform love ballads for the diners. So far, The Cannibals, Dean Raybould and Derby Fleming have performed at the restaurant and gave diners special moments.
