Editors' Take
Make like it's Prohibition at this swingin' party, ripe with hot jazz and ragtime. Don't forget to dress the part and unleash your inner flapper or gangster!
A dazzling vintage dance monthly:
"Gatsby-era fun with a twist of new-school vibe" (Village Voice)
Bootleggers and speakeasies...wild dancers and smart mouths...art
that sizzles and music that roars... With live swingin' dance
sounds of the early 20th century, re-bopin' DJs remixing and
reinventing vintage grooves, awesome aerial artistry, dazzling
dance numbers, blazing burlesque and performance art to make you
swoon. The Jazz Age never ended, it just got funky. Dress
accordingly!

jazz/early swing, yiddish swing, rockabilly, New Oleans jazz, etc.
We'll definitely aim for an exclusively brassy big band swing night
for one of them! That's not to say our DJ's won't mix in the big
band stuff, but we're mainly talking about the live music element.
