Boston Swing Central
The Back Bay Rhythm makers return to Boston Swing Central to tear it up with their smaller combo (you might recognize them as members of White Heat Swing Orchestra). This smaller, more nimble, group has played for us many times. And we love them! Fueled by the high energy clarinet of leader Craig Ball, these cats know... how to bring it. Be prepared to cut loose!
This also kicks off a big swing dancing weekend where we welcome some of our favorite teachers Skye Humphries and Naomi Uyama, and we’re hoping that they get a chance to stop by. See hoptothebeat.com for more details.

Hey good lookin’, what ya got cookin’? Yes, it’s that time of year, when thoughts of turkey appear in our heads. We’ve challenged our DJs to come up with their best swing songs about food. Yes, there are many swings about food, like “Hey Sweet Potato” by Fats Waller (with a name like Fats, you gotta expect that he’d... sing the praises of food, or at least use at as an analogy for a his sweet heart). We’ll try not to overdo the theme tonight….there’s nothing worse then a slightly burned dance. And it might make you more hungry than wanting to swing, but we’ll season the evenings proceedings by peppering the mix with some songs about food. Okay, enough with the food references, we’ll save the rest for Friday night.

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

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!
Lesson (included with admission): 8:00pm - 9:00pm

Calling All Zombies! Rise up!

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!
This week, we'll board our time machine and tell Mr Peabody to set it go back 10 years to whe...n the dance floors were crowded and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Indigo Swing and Royal Crown Revue ruled the dance floor. Yes, it's our 2nd Neo Swing night. The last one was such a blast, so come and join us!

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…
Lesson (included in the price of admission): 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Dancing: 9:00pm - 12:00am
General Admission: $8 with school gear, $10 regular
