A costumed dance ball with live swingin' sounds by authentic vintage jazz bands, re-bopin' DJs remixing and reinventing vintage grooves, dazzling dance numbers and blazing burlesque, held in an enormous and aged warehouse with soaring peaked ceilings, peeling whitewashed brick walls, old wood beams and glowing chandeliers.
Featuring...Live music all night by authentic swing cats Nick Palumbo and the Flipped Fedora Orchestra and special guests from Berlin swing/ska/gypsy punk rockers BudZillus. Renown burlesque divas Amber Ray and The Maine Attraction. After the glitter settles, eclectic mixmaster DJ Shakey throws down vintage grooves and modern beats late into the night. Charming hostess and songstress Kim Boekbinder of "Vermillion Lies" guides you through the night. Exotic cocktail menu featuring herbal concoctions by The House of St Eve and other delectable potions. FREE basic swing dance class before the event by Akemi Kinukawa of Dardo Galletto Studios.
