Everyone has a ball dancing to everything from a waltz, foxtrot and tango to the jitterbug, jump and swing dancing to the big band sounds. There is the smooth romance of ballroom dancing one minute, and the wild abandon of rock and disco the next. Do the cha cha or rumba to sexy latin music. Take a trip to Brazil and do the samba or bossa nova. See if you can remember how to do the frug, mashed potatoes or the twist to some rock and roll oldies. Brush up on your best Saturday Night Fever and Flash dance disco moves. Slip across the dance floor doing the Electric Slide or jump in the conga line. There is always CD dance music provided during the short band breaks so there is never a lull in the party.

Swing is hot again! Give any social occasion elegance and class with the looks and sounds of the big band era. From swing and dance standards that everyone knows and loves, to new stylish renditions of contemporary rock and pop songs.
