Join the Galaxie for their biggest swing dance of the year: The 3rd annual Battle of the Bands DJ contest!
Saturday, March 20
9pm: Beginning Swing lesson (no partner or experience required!)
10pm-1am: Dancing and DJ contest
$15 suggested donation
All those interested in swing dancing and the music from the swing era are invited, regardless of experience or possession of rhythm and are encouraged to participate in the beginner lesson!
Each of some of Chicago’s best swing DJs will represent a jazz artist or ensemble from the swing era of the 1930s and ‘40s in the tunes they play, using their best material to keep the dancers on the floor and themselves in first place.
Last year’s event was teeming with energy and excitement as the DJs battled it out, with decked out “ring girls” parading the room, generating wild applause from dancers and onlookers. Dancers of all levels were keeping the 1,960 square foot, high-ceilinged room bouncing all night, cheering on the DJs and taking advantage of the exciting social atmosphere created by the space and community of dancers.
