What Is A Flannel Dance?

I came across a reference on Trove to a Flannel Dance so I googled it to find out what it was.  There are a number of references to Flannel Dances but no explanation of what one was.    This dance was part of the Royal Life Saving Society of South Australia’s activities and was in The Advertiser newspaper on 14 Dec 1934.  One of the Google search results did refer to Flannel Dances as a 1930s phenomena.

Does anyone know what a Flannel Dance was?
