1920s Night!

roaring20s

We're having our last theme dance of the semester this Friday! The costume & music theme is the 1920s. Many of the swing dances, including the the 20s Charleston, Black Bottom, and Peabody, originated in this freewheeling decade of Jazz and bootleg licquor.

Style tips

  • Hats can go a long way in making an outfit. Evolution has some vintagy hats.
  • You can look at production stills or trailers from "Changeling" (2008) for classy period ideas.
  • Halloween clearance: flapper or gangster costume

Cost: $5 includes admission & snacks. Free if you're enrolled in our classes.
