This Friday we'll pay homage to the King of Swing, Benny Goodman. Before rising to Royalty starting his own band, Goodman played the clarinet with other Jazz legends like Red Nichols and Glenn Miller in the 1920s and early 1930s. In the mid-1930s, Goodman's big band swing sound ignited the swing scene with the foot s...tompin' rhythms of the "King Porter Stomp". Dancers loved it then, and they love it now. There's nothing like those big brass trumpets to get you hoppin' and jumpin'.
Not only was Goodman at the forefront of Jazz, but he was also forging the way for societal changes, leading one of the first racially-integrated bands during an era of segregation in the 1930's. Jazz was a music that brought many different people together, just as we hope it will bring all of you together tonight! So come on out and swing to the King of Swing!
Lesson (included in the price of admission): 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Dancing: 9:00pm - 12:00am
General Admission: $10
Students and Seniors (with Valid ID): $8

Last week, we went back to the 90s for Neo Swing and this week, Boston Swing Central will go WAY back...back to the days of Fats Waller, Bunk & Lu, and Cab Calloway. So we won't be kickin' it old school with Young MC, Tupac or Flavor Flav, we'll be kickin' it really Old School...30s and 40s style!
In recent weeks, you ...might have noticed our distinctive shift this direction, and we hope to continue to mine our mp3 collections to bring you the best music we can find to keep your imaginations stimulated and your feet moving. This week we also welcome guest DJ Isaac Marx back, who is a perfect choice for this week's theme!
And as always, we'll have our beginning lesson at 8pm before social dancing. So come on out and dance with us!

The Gap commercial inspired a millions to try swing dancing. But where did they all go? We think they are now at home watching Dancing with the Stars and playing Rock Band. That's okay because we still love swing dancing!

We’re rolling prices back to when we were in college, and as a way of saying thanks to the many college students who come to our dances on a regular basis. Tonight, admission will be only $5 for those with a college ID who sport any of their school colors (it doesn’t have to be a jersey, a scarf or bandana is fine).
A...nd for the rest of us who either graduated a while ago or didn’t graduate, it will be a mere $8 if you wear your school college. If you didn’t go to college, use your favorite sports team, or pretend you went to Harvard, we don’t care, we’re just hoping a lot of folks come out, dance and have a lot of fun…

This week the BSC steps back in time, to the 1930s and the Savoy Ballroom. Our DJs will bring their best Savoy Ballroom inspired music to keep your feet jumpin' to the Lindy Hop. This was THE era. Known as the "Home of the Happy Feet". The Savoy Ballroom was the epicenter for swing dancing. It's where Frankie Man...ning got started and where he later joined the amazing performance troupe, Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. It was also famous for a supreme battle of the bands facing off Bennie Goodman, Count Basie and Chick Webb. And the general concesus was that Chick Webb's band won handily. We'll try our best to recreate that feeling. And everyone is encouraged to dress vintage to move our imaginations along.
Kellian and Brian will be teaching our lesson.
