Swing Dance Party featuring the Gatsby Orchestra!

Saturday, November 16, 2024

Come Dance and Listen to Authentic 1920's and Early Big Band played by a 12 Piece Orchestra. Co founders Billy McSweeney and Jack Pettit have assembled the best jazz musicians to help you experience the great dance music of the early jazz era. We encourage you to come dress the part as Flappers and Dapper Dans take to the dance floor to strut their stuff. Every month on third Saturdays, Forte is proud to present for your listening and dancing pleasure our Swing Dance Party. The evening begins from 6:30pm-7:30pm with a Swing dance lesson led by none other than Stephen Duane. Then for the remainder of the evening, until 11:30pm, you can relax and listen to great music from the Early Jazz and Big Band era.
