10/4: DJ Jason - New School Swing!

So much about swing dancing is rooted in the old school music from the 30's, 40's and 50's. During any visit to Swing Dance Sunday, you're bound to hear classic big band swing, traditional jazz, early rock n' roll and rhythm & blues. You'll always hear that stuff!

But this week we're going to put a little focus on new school swing! Along with the familiar sounds of the swing era, DJ Jason Provost will be playing tracks from the neo-swing revival of the late 90's to the "back-to-basics" sound of today's swing band.

Who fits into this genre? Indigo Swing, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Postmodern Jukebox, Leon Bridges, Boilermaker Jazz Band, Lavay Smith, Mora's Modern Rhythmists and more! Check out some of these bands below!


As usual, Naga from The Dance Shack will be teaching a beginner east coast swing lesson starting at 7PM. The dance floor opens up after the lesson around 8PM. As always, there is no cover to enter! Swing Dance Sunday is 21+.

There's always plenty of street parking available.
