2/21 - Big Band Night!

Benny Goodman. Chick Webb. Artie Shaw. Count Basie. Duke Ellington. Glenn Miller. Tommy Dorsey. These are the artists that owned the popular music landscape of the 1930's and 1940's. Dancers flocked to buy their records and crammed dance halls to lindy hop to these swing giants. And it's this music that shaped the dancing styles of yesterday -  and even today.

Tonight at Swing Dance Sunday at The Volstead in downtown Jacksonville, DJ Jason Provost will be spinning the best in classic and modern big band music for your dancing enjoyment. He'll also play his regular slew of early rock 'n roll, classic rhythm & blues and modern swing tunes.

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

There's always plenty of street parking available.
