Music City Swing (http://musiccityswing.com/) will be at the Nashville Centennial Park Event Shelter for a big band dance. Music City Swing is Nashville’s finest example of what a big band can be, proving that music from any era can swing. This 21-piece band plays music from the 40s through today in its own hard-swinging, big-sounding way.
There are many other band dances at centennial park throughout the summer, (though not necessarily all swing). See the "Big Band Dance Series" in the attached schedule of events.
Event Date and Time:
June 2, 2012 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location:
Centennial Park Event Shelter · 2500 West End Avenue · Nashville, TN 37203
Just a reminder, we are shagging again tonight 6:30-8:30 pm at the Brahan Spring Recreation Center. The rec center is the white building located behind the Senior Center (Drake Avenue) at 3770 Ivy Avenue. Easiest access is to turn off Drake, North, and it will be on the left just after you pass the Senior Center. Front door faces Ivy.

Man, what an awesome dance! Normally DJ dances are a nice mellow affair. A lull between the bands. This was anything but! Rob, Breanna and Danielle all put off rock solid sets and gabe ended was one hell of a blues playlist!

I rarely put dances that aren't exclusively swing on the calendar, but both The Dance Club and Patton James have always been huge supporters of the dance scene in Huntsville. Many dancers have gotten their start there. Come out and celebrate the first 17 years and many more to come. Check out the attached flier for more information.

We're bringing Reuel Reis down to Huntsville to duplicate the DJ summit him and Corey Manke are doing in Nashville. Are you interested in DJing? Do you want to learn a bit more about how to get to the crowd? This your chance to learn a bit more. Hear about some of the tricks as well as the pitfalls of DJ'ing and get your questions answered. Both beginner and experienced DJs are welcome. Never DJ'd but want to? Come on out!
UPDATE 6/15: Due to a schedule conflict, we've moved this from Thursday, 6/17 to Thursday 7/22. It's about a month later but just as good!

You know, we normally expect the DJ dances to be a bit more low key. More so for a summer dance. More so for a dance not on our normal day
