Vintage Dance
Saturday, May 23, 11:00am-1:00pm
Center House Court
Fox Trot, One Step, Polka and Swing—you’ll get it all here! At this time of the day the floor will be perfect for traveling dances, and both the SpeakEasy Band and Al’s Novelty Syncopators put on a sprightly show. Folklife’s Vintage Dance is a perfect place to strut your stuff.
And, for some serious fun, come take the lesson in One Step, Broadway Style. It’ll put a dash of show biz in your partner dancing. It’s good for beginners as well as seasoned dance-hall pros.
