DJ Party with DJs Dustin Spicuzza and Mike H

August 31st, 2018 | Category: dances

Join us for a swing dance with our local DJs Dustin Spicuzza and Mike H!

Dustin Spicuzza

Shortly after becoming addicted to Lindy Hop, Dustin began to collect Lindy Hop related jazz music to feed his passion for interesting and high energy music that really swings. In the fall of 2011 he began to DJ in Boston, Washington DC, Baltimore, and beyond. The energy and driving swinging rhythm he brings to a dance has been well received by dancers of all levels.

Mike Hibarger

Mike H is a regular DJ at Boston Swing Central!  There are about 86 years of recorded swing music and DJ Mike H dips into his diverse collection to play a little something for everyone from every era.  He is delighted when he plays a song and people come up and ask him “what’s that song?” because they want to get the track.

Cait and the Critters

August 10th, 2018 | Category: dances
Cait and the Critters blends western swing, folk and blues with the American Song Book for a tasty take on traditional jazz. Band leader, Cait, is a swing dancer, tenor guitar player and singer. Born from the trad jazz scene in New York City, Cait is inspired by how dancing and music lift each other. Cait pulls from country, jazz, and gospel singers for a sound that is at times sultry and soft, explosive and full. The Critters are a shifting cast of talented collaborators and wielders of fine instruments who build out the band in grand dance worthy accompaniment.

Lesson (included w/ price of admission): 8:00pm – 9:00pm
Dancing: 9:00pm – 12:00am
