Dear Mike,
And also in Australia.
We played a Sydney Jazz Club gig last week.
And they danced.
As with Kash in Madrid, they dance at our Sunday afternoon pub job - if there is room. 
When the Graeme Bell Dixieland Band went to Europe and Britain in 1947 and were living in London, they introduced the Australian 'jazz-is-for-dancing' policy when they started the Leicester Square Jazz Club, in August 1948.
It has survived there, as it has down-under. 
Very kind regards,
Bill.
