Professional dancer Julia
Wood will give the
beginner swing lesson.
The Beantown Swing
Orchestra continues its first Saturday swing
dances in Concord, for one final time
at the Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden before moving back to the Scout
House in October.
Professional dancer Julia Wood
and Olin College student Kevin Sihlanick will give a beginner swing dance lesson at 8:00pm,
which is free with admission and no partner is required. Because
the "followers" rotate through the "leaders," it's a great way to meet
people before the dance begins.
Then, the 18-piece Beantown Swing Orchestra will
get the dance floor swinging with its classic big band arrangements from the
1930s and 1940s. The band mainly consists
of college students from Berklee and NEC, as well as some recent
grads. There is plenty of energy here
to get the place swinging all night
long!
The Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden, located
in beautiful historic downtown Concord Center, is a Queen Anne
shingled building constructed in 1892.
The main hall is used primarily for theatrical performances but also for
band and orchestra concerts and dances. Acoustical enhancements have been
made to provide an optimal musical experience without the use of excessive
amplification. Parking is readily available on the street or in
nearby public lots (but please do not park in the church lot across the
street). If taking public transportation, the Concord station of the
commuter rail (Fitchburg line) is a six minute walk to the
venue.
Directions and other information on 51 Walden are at www.51walden.org.

Hope to see you on Saturday, and please forward this announcement to all your friends!
