It’s a Swing Dance Party @BluJazzAkron With Red Light Roxy

RedLightRoxy2

Thu 8/6 @ 7PM

Northeast Ohio has really been swinging as of late — swing dancing, that is. Credit Valerie Salstrom’s Get Hep Swing which holds swing dances and classes all over the area.

She recently returned from a swing dance festival in Sweden where she taught for a week so maybe she’ll be bringing some new international moves to the Swing Dance Party Get Hep Swing is hosting at BluJazz Akron.

Another thing that fuels the movement is the plethora of talented area musicians who play live music for this style of dancing. One of the most entertaining is Red Light Roxy, some of the area’s top jazz players who have a little fun with this ’40s style pop ensemble.

As usual, there’s a lesson at 7pm, geared to both beginners and those who have been dancing a while. At 8pm the band takes the stage and the dancing starts for real.

Admission is $12.
