Local dancer and songstress Jan Marie and her four piece band, the Mean Reds, are coming back to the Whistle Stop on April 25th!

Since she made her Boston Swing Central debut last year, Jan Marie has been featured in the Boston Globe and Boston Phoenix for her excellent singing and vintage fashion sense. As an experienced dancer, she knows what we want more than we know what we want! We have a pretty good feeling that Jan Marie and the Mean Reds will keep us dancing all night long as she has during her previous gigs with us.

Lesson (included with admission): 8:00pm – 9:00pm
Dancing: 9:00pm – 12:00am
General Admission: $15

Swing Legacy is one of Boston’s longest running swing bands and a true fixture to the scene. They have been playing since 1991 all around the city and with BSC since its early days.

Their repertoire concentrates on classic big band swing music including many Duke Ellington and Count Basie numbers ideal for Lindy Hop and swing dancing. Much of their great catalog of songs showcases their outstanding singer, Debby Larkin. They are regulars for a reason…they keep us swingin’!

Here they are playing “Undecided”:

BSC is turning six this year, so it’s our sugar and iron anniversary. Use that knowledge however you will!

In the past year, BSC has come so far and grown so much. It is even wilder to think back to where we started six years ago back in the YWCA, St. Mary’s Church, the YMCA, Extreme Dancesport, and then eventually are awesome home at the Whistle Stop. It’s great to have had a space to call home for a few years and to have a growing dance community support us! Come celebrate!

We launched our amazing journey with the Beantown Swing Orchestra and we’re hosting them again for a night of fabulous music!

Since it is a party night and celebration, dress up if you want to make it even more memorable!

Here is a Beantown Swing Orchestra’s 2014 video demo, which showcases the depth of their talent:
