Farewell to Summer Swing Dance with NATTY BEAUX at Colvin Run Dance Hall
Tonight we honor the memory of recently-deceased swing dancer Karen Dorbayan, who was a regular on the Gottaswing scene for many years. 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.
TICKET PRE-SALES CLOSED; PAY AT THE DOOR
• Beginner swing lesson 8-8:30pm; dance 8:30-11pm
• Admission $20/online purchase until 5pm the day of the dance; $25 at the door. Advance ticket sales are final; no refunds or credits.
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.
