A dazzling vintage dance monthly: "Gatsby-era fun with a twist of new-school vibe" (Village Voice)
An all-night 1940s dance ball, with live swingin' sounds by two authentic big bands, re-bopin' DJs remixing and reinventing vintage grooves, awesome aerial artistry, dazzling dance numbers, blazing burlesque and performance art to make you swoon. Plus: aerialists, stilt walkers, fire performers, oh my. The Jazz Age never ended, it just got funky. Dress accordingly!
Bands: Philadelphia's finest swing band, The Neon Swing X-Perience, here for one weekend only, and New York's party swing masters, Big Bang Big Band, in their full 10-piece glory. Burlesque: Jo Boobs, the inimitable mistress of NYC School of Burlesque. Special all-jazz set by Freebass (DJ Shakey & bassist Aaroneus), mixing vintage samples with live bass lines. Resident mixmaster DJ Dhundee mixes vintage grooves and modern beats late into the night. Free swing dance class before the event.
