More live music on the way!

Saturday, November 14th

This Orlando Swing Dance will feature music by “Kid Dutch and his Blusicians”. This band is sure to keep you movin’ on the dance floor all night long. This band knows what the dancers want and they crank out pure musical inspiration. …and it doesn’t stop there! These guys are one of the most entertaining bands around… fun for dancers and non-dancers alike. They’ll be playing the music of Louis Jordan, Smiley Lewis, Fats Waller, Slim Gaillard, Cab Calloway, Fats Domino, B.B. King, and many others.

In addition the night will kick off early with a very special Dips and Tricks class by Joe & Tabitha at 7pm! Originally residents of the Orlando scene, Joe & Tabitha now regularly teach in Washington DC. This class is open to anyone who knows the swing basic and wants to add some flash into their dancing. The regular beginner swing lesson will follow at 8pm with Rob and Dawn Shrewsbury teaching. As always, dancing starts at 9pm and goes to midnight.

Special event admission: $12 per person
