Join the Art Deco Society of Washington, the Junior Woman's Club of
Chevy Chase, gottaswing.com , the Ski Club of Washington, D.C., and
Professionals in the City as they present the 2010 Black and White Ball,
a charity gala. Proceeds benefit the National Center for Children and
Families.
Last year's ball was a sell-out success. Our fifth annual event promises
to be just as grand.
Deans of swing dance, Tom Koerner and Debra Sternberg, 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.
Dance from 9:00 until midnight to the music of Blue Sky 5 and their
lovely vocalist, Christine Crear. 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.
Tom and Debra's world-famous dance team, the Eight Week Wonders, will
perform during the first band break. Of course, you won't want to miss
the exciting Dance Jam during the second set.
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, white, formal, or vintage attire is highly suggested for the
evening. Light refreshments and a cash bar will be available.
