Just announced! Swing returns to CityDance Center at Strathmore
Music by BIG THREE TRIO
Saturday, May 17
Drop-in beginner swing lesson with Tom and Debra 7:30-8pm, dance 8-10:45pm, $15

We’re happy to return to this gorgeous facility for a great swing dance featuring the fantastic Big Three Trio. No one swings like this group swings! Start with traditional Kansas City jump blues, mix in plenty of R&B, and add just a little touch of New Orleans swing, stir together with the jiving vocals and shuffling drumbeat of Joe Maher, and what do you end up? A great night of swing music that will keep you up on the dance floor all night long. Big Joe and his trio keep classic rhythm and blues alive!
