The Top Shelf Big Band At The Saddle Rack This Thursday Night!
The Top Shelf Big Band keeps the sounds of live Jazz and Big Band very much alive (and swingin’!) in the Southbay and they are bringing their lively, danceable rhythms to the East Bay at The Saddle Rack, this Thursday night!
Swing Dancing is THE American social dance art form and every Thursday Night, The Saddle Rack in Fremont definitely swings!
For those who want to brush up on their steps before the open dancing, SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTORS Mike Quebec and Diana Mo will teach the beginning drop in East Coast Swing lesson with a”Lindy Hop flavor.”
After the lesson, our dee-jays spin a variety of Jazz, Big Band, Jump Blues, Boogie Woogie, Western Swing, Do Wop, and Rockabilly…and of course, there’s always a LIVE Band!
This week’s dee-jay is Jumpin’ Jeff Clark, who’s energetic jazz cuts will keep you up on the floor and your feet movin’ with the heat!
Our Thursday’s Swingin’ At The Rack is the perfect way to meet new people and let loose on the dance floor. It’s also a great way for couples to spend an enjoyable night out.
If you like vintage/retro dance music, then Swingin’ At The Rack is for you!
