The LCC Jazz Band, led by Jonathon Gewirtz, will host a swing dance event with live music on November 1 from 6-9 p.m. in the LCC Gannon Commons. This free event is open to everyone in the community.
“It will be a fun night of dancing and live music,” said Gewirtz. “We have dance instructors who will guide participants along through the night to the sound track of the big band era performed by the LCC Band.”
Big band era classics from the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s will be featured, including works by Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and many more. The LCC Jazz Band is made up of standard instrumentation of the big band era and will feature the artistic and powerful vocals of AnnaMaria Horn.
“There are not many opportunities in the Lansing area to dance to a live big band,” said Gewirtz. “I’m very excited to help create an opportunity to connect and engage with not only the LCC community, but also, the greater Lansing community.”
Free parking is available on Grand Avenue and on the first floor of the Gannon Parking Ramp.
