2nd & 4th Saturday Swing Dances
Now featuring live music twice a month!
Why dance to the same old canned tunes when you can enjoy swing music the way it was meant to be… LIVE!
An Orlando favorite since 2002! Grab your friends and family and come out and cut a rug at our twice-a-month Saturday dance! We’ll be playing the best in live swing and big band for your dancing enjoyment. From slow tempos to fast, there is something for everyone. Food and drink are available on donation basis. This is a family friendly event in a smoke and alcohol free environment. It offers tons of energy in a social atmosphere!
Looking to get started with swing dancing? This is your chance! This dance features a beginner swing dance class (included with admission) from 8 to 9pm that covers all the essentials from footwork to basic turns.
Live music: Come out and dance to some of the best live swing and big band music in Orlando! Our featured bands include:
The New Tradition Jazz Ensemble big band: This high energy band will have you dancing all night long to classic and contemporary swing music with a mix of tempos. Lead by Ed Micklos, the New Tradition Jazz Ensemble is a community of musicians focused on sharing their great enjoyment of big band and jazz music with audiences far and wide. Join us for lively performances, popping rhythms, and exhilarating solos. This is a rare chance to catch a full size swing orchestra playing regularly and exclusively for swing dancers!
The Nicole Sasser Quartet: Nicole is known for her big band and jazz style and is loved throughout Orlando for keeping the dance floor full of great energy! She leads a band of musicians who are passionate about their love for music and true to the great artists that have come before them. The group’s repertoire includes standards made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, just to name a few.
Dress is casual (unless otherwise noted for special events). It is recommended that you wear something comfortable that you can move around in. Also, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. To keep the floor in new condition, no high heels (spiked) are allowed on the dance floor.
