Get ready to put on your dancing shoes and swing those hips! The Eureka High School Jazz Ensemble is hosting a Swing Dance on Saturday, March 9, 2024, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The event will take place in the EHS Cafeteria, and the Jazz Ensemble will provide swing music for your entertainment. Admission to the event is $15.
"The Jazz Ensemble plays a variety of musical styles. Most of our music is focused on swing, but you'll also be able to dance to ballads, waltzes, and even some Latin grooves," said Music Teacher Chris Cox. "So bring your dancing shoes. The floor is ready for you."
The EHS Jazz Ensemble has provided music for the annual swing dance for 30 years. In years past, it was called "Dancing and Delectables" and included food and an auction. This year's event is all about the music and dancing.
Cox adds, "The dance is open to anyone, regardless of experience. You'll see beginning dancers next to amazing dancers who participate in competitions. Experienced swing dancers and local dance instructors often attend and are known to give tips and tricks on how to improve your dancing experience."
The fundraiser will help the EHS Jazz Ensemble with travel expenses, music, and equipment needed to run the band.
Support the EHS Jazz Ensemble and have some fun this Saturday night!
