The BSC New Year’s Eve Vintage Ball is a swing dance party harking back to the lively 20s, 30s, and 40s! Vintage black tie dress up is encouraged (but not required). We will kick off the night with a beginner swing dance lesson, dance all night long, and then bring in the new year together with a midnight sparkling cider toast!

This event, held this year at the stunning  Arlington Town Hall, features Dan Gabel and the Abletones Dectet with vocalist Elise Roth. You will feel like you have been transported back in time. This is sure to be a wonderfully festive night of great music and dancing.

Katie Piselli loves to mix the old with the new. No matter what decade they’re from, she loves jazz songs with great rhythm and bass, killer vocalists, memorable melodies, and distinct instrumentals that inspire the imagination. (She also LOVES a good line dance or two.) As a regular social swing dancer and teacher in the Boston area, Katie particularly enjoys finding super swingin’ music for new dancers. If you’re having fun, you’re doing it right. Enjoy the music!

Andrew Selzer started DJing for weekly dances in the college town of State College, Pennsylvania; but these days he hails from Boston, Massachusetts. With over five years of experience dancing Lindy Hop, Collegiate Shag, and Balboa all over the globe from Paris, France to New Orleans, Louisiana he brings to the table music true to the swing era that appeals to the international swing dance community.

The 18-piece Beantown Swing Orchestra will be joining BSC yet again to share their gift of swinging big band tunes! The Beantown Swing Orchestra is known for their stellar performances of vintage Swing Era and Sinatra classics arranged for that big band sound that inspires great, memorable dances. The band even adds their own flair by adding in some original songs and arrangements! And, since the holidays are fast approaching, don’t be surprised if a few holiday tunes make it onto the set list. As usual, the BSO will have some of its well known and talented vocalists along with them!

Marta  started dancing contemporary jazz and ballet when she was 4 years old. She has always loved music, singing, and dancing. One day out of the blue in 2012 she discovered Lindy Hop at a jazz concert and has been a swing fanatic ever since. Dancing Lindy Hop makes her smile and forget about everything while she enjoys the music and dancing with her partner. She usually DJs at her dance school in Barcelona, and also recently played the international workshop SWIM OUT last September. She loves swing music and tries to make everyone happy by  paying attention to the room and varying tempos. If you like Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie… you can’t miss her set!

Kevin Lin loves swing dancing, swing music, and loves listening to the music at all waking hours of the day. He has DJ’ed at local venues around Boston including MIT Lindy Hop Society and Monday Night Practice. Some of his favorite bands include Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Chick Webb. Kevin’s goal is to keep the energy high and the dancing fun, and he firmly believes in the saying… “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing!”
