Swing Dancing at Willowbrook Ballroom - 17-piece Outcast Jazz Band (Jim P Z)

Let’s party like it’s 1939!

Willowbrook Ballroom - 92 years old and still swinging! Listen closely and you just might hear distant echoes of the historic Big Bands of Count Basie and Benny Goodman who’ve appeared on the bandstand. Perhaps your parents (or grandparents!) whirled about on the 6,000 square foot maple dance floor. In the 21st century, Willowbrook has Salsa, Country, and Ballroom dancing events, but how can you beat Swing dancing to a rocking 17-piece Big Band like the Outcast Jazz Band? You can Jitterbug to all the great Swing tunes and Foxtrot when their vocalists deliver some golden classics! (songs like The Best is Yet to Come, Fly Me to the Moon, It Had to be You, etc.). Make some new memories at Willowbrook, one of America's last Grand Ballrooms!
