Kind of a Big Deal – Falty & The Defects

January 20th, 2017 | Category: dances

 

Kick off the Friday night of Kind of a Big Deal Weekend at the beautiful Hibernian Hall with music by Falty & The Defects! (We are NOT at Extreme Dancesport this week!) Enjoy social dancing and cheering for competitions!

Falty & the Defects like to play, good old fashioned, hard swinging jazz and blues for ass shaking audiences. Falty & the Defects play everything, from sultry and slow to energetic and silly. They have a way of getting people to start to tap their foot or to shake uncontrollably. They have an infectious energy that spreads from the stage to the audience from the first downbeat. They are first and foremost a dance band, but listening audiences will be drawn in by their instrumentation, dynamics, and musicality.

Lesson (included w/ price of admission): 8:00pm – 9:00pm
Dancing: 9:00pm – 12:30am
General Admission: $30 at-the-door
Students and Seniors (with Valid ID):$25 at-the-door
