The Washington Swing Dance Committee celebrates their 25th year in 2010 offering the best in live swing music and dance instruction. This night we present Peter Davis and Lindy Hop Heaven. With Peter at the helm, "Lindy Hop Heaven" has become one of the nation's most requested swing dance bands. The band features Peter on clarinet, alto sax, piano and vocals, the renowned George Reed on drums, Peter Ecklund on trumpet, Dave Davies on trombone, guitar and vocals, Tom Mitchell on guitar and vocals and Harry Aceto on bass. They play swing dances, festivals and music and dance camps nationwide, and are heard annually at Swing Out New Hampshire, Beantown Lindy Hop Summer Camp and Western and Swing Week at Ashokan. "Lindy Hop Heaven" also plays regularly at swing dances up and down the east coast and around the country. Known as a "dancer's band," they've learned to play the tempos, riffs and rhythms that are most desired by dancers of Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, Jitterbug, Shag, West Coast Swing and more. Dancers frequently come up to them after a tune and say, "How did you know how to play exactly what we were dancing?" Band website: http://peterdavis.biz

A beginner Swing Dance lesson is offered from 8 to 9 p.m., followed by dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight. Dress is casual and no partner or dance experience is necessary. All ages are welcome.
