Beginner lesson @ 8:00 w/Tom Koerner & Debra Sternberg. Dance @ 9:00 w/George Gee Swing Orchestra & Frankie Manning. Cost: $18.
The 17-piece George Gee Swing Orchestra enjoys their hard-earned reputation as the swingin’-est, blowin’-est, hepp-est classic big band in New York City. And they take special pride in their ranking as the #1 swing dance band by legendary Savoy dancers like Frankie Manning and Dawn Hampton! The George Gee Swing Orchestra was the first big band to play on MTV. They were featured in an NBC-TV movie (with stars Tyne Daly and Richard Crenna) and were spotlighted on Entertainment Tonight, Live With Regis & Kathie Lee and performed for 11 million viewers on "Live from Lincoln Center" on PBS Television. They also provided specially scored music and made an "animated" appearance on an episode of the Fantastic Four cartoon for Marvel Comics. They’ve dazzled audiences from Boston to Beverly Hills and from Zurich to Tokyo for over 25 years. Special treat—our own local songbird, Christina Crerar, will be singing with the orchestra!
