"Swing" into the New Year
Cut a New Year’s Eve rug — 1940s-style, with New York’s own George Gee & the Jump Jivin’ Wailers. And this ain’t no Mickey Mouse band, they jump daddy-o!
Dance to some high-energy finger zingers played by some cool hepcats at this classy clambake. No longhairs need apply Jackson.
Start your evening with a swing dance lesson that will get you warmed up to jump and jive until after midnight.
The beautiful Art Deco Spanish Ballroom is a great place to dance, with room for 1,800 dancers.
This is a Jittersauce-free event (no alcohol served) but light refreshments will be available.
