We organize several dances each month featuring the best swing DJ's around playing the swinginest tunes from the 1920's, 30's, and 40's as well as plenty of swinging modern music thrown in just to keep us on our toes. We also strive to provide members the experience of dancing to live music and book live bands for our dances about once per quarter."
