VINTAGE and COSTUME DANCE

Our Vintage dance will revisit the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s and ’40s era. Rifle through your parents’ attic for vintage uniforms, suspenders, sailor pants, Zoot suits, Fedoras, wrap and halter dresses, wedgies and two-tone shoes, etc… Gentlemen, remember how much the ladies like men in uniforms ! Since we don’t have our traditional Mardi Gras Party this year, this is the party where you can also be creative and dress up.

***Live Music***
***Fashion & costume contest***
***Strictly Lindy contest***
***Strictly Balboa contest***

Workshops are designed for dancers at all levels (beginning through advanced) and of all ages to learn in a fun and welcoming environment typical of New Orleans’ southern hospitality.

Regardless of your level you will be able to take up classes. We also encourage teenagers to join. Singles are welcome. We rotate partners during the workshops.
