Farewell to Summer Swing Dance with NATTY BEAUX at Colvin Run Dance Hall

A member of the Gottaswing community, who wishes to remain anonymous, will be making a donation matching paid admissions (donation capped at 150 people) to A Way Forward, a non-profit working to to help survivors of domestic and sexual violence, in Karen’s memory.

Oh no, can it be? The end of summer looms. We’re not letting our favorite season go without a grand send-off, so wear your summer whites, seersucker, sun dresses and the like.
