Friday night dances in the Bumper Car Pavilion! What a lovely way to end the work week! We have a summer-time series of Friday night dances in the open-air Bumper Car Pavilion that's just perfect for the warm weather! Bring your friends and join us on: In cooperation with the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, Inc., the National Park Service and Montgomery County, MD Back to TOP ^ From San Francisco, MITCH WOODS Along with his Rocket 88s, Mitch Woods has been the torchbearer of a great American blues musical heritage, not for two years but for over two decades. Taking his inspiration from the great jump and boogie outfits of the late ‘0s and early ‘50s, Mitch breathes fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock and roll. In cooperation with the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, Inc., the National Park Service and Montgomery County, MD Back to TOP ^
BlackRock Center is one of our favorite venues--plenty of free parking, easy to get to, nearby restaurants and cafes for your dining pleasure, air conditioning, and a dreamy sprung hardwood floor. We love it! Double dose of Ohio's BLAIR CARMAN AND THE BELLEVIEW BOYS Two nights to see the energetic tidal wave that is Blair Carman and the Belleview Boys, long a favorite of the DC swing dance community! From the Honky Tonking songs of Hank Williams, Web Pierce and Carl Smith to the Rock and Rollin’ hits of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins, a Blair Carman show is guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Adding even more fun to an already-exciting weekend, Saturday night’s dance in the Spanish Ballroom will include a qualifier dance contest for the American Lindy Hop Championship American Showcase Division in Stamford, Connecticut, October 22-24. Email Debra for details. Whether you’re a participant or a spectator, this will be a ton of fun!
