8:30 PM to Midnight
Woman's Club of Chevy Chase
7931 Connecticut Avenue
Chevy Chase, Maryland
Advance tickets: $18.50; At the door: $25
Join the Art Deco Society of Washington, the Junior Women's Club of Chevy
Chase, and gottaswing.com as they present the 2007 Black and White Ball, a
charity gala. Proceeds benefit the Anacostia Gracious Arts Program, which
provides opportunities for less fortunate children to act, sing, and play
an instrument.
Last year's ball was a sell-out success. Our third annual event promises to
be just as grand.
Deans of swing dance, Tom and Debra, will be teaching an introductory swing
dance lesson from 8:30 to 9:00 PM. Tom and Debra have been teaching
together for over ten years. They are the 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2002, and
2003 Virginia State Open Lindy Hop champions.
The featured music is Blue Sky 5, who will play from 9:00 to midnight.
Whether you love to lindy hop, remember the days when "swing was king", or
just appreciate good vintage jazz, you can dig all that jive with Blue Sky
5. The band's repertoire consists of songs made popular by Count Basie, Nat
Cole, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Fats Waller, along
with tunes by other swing era artists.
The Black and White Ball will be held at the historical Woman's Club of
Chevy Chase. The Woman's Club acquired the property in 1937 and opened the
clubhouse in 1938.
Black and white semi-formal or vintage attire is highly suggested for the
evening. Light refreshments and a cash bar will be available.
Advance Tickets: $18.50 (by mail)
At the Door: $25
