In honor of International Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), Boston Swing Central is planning a very Wookie dance on May 5th. Let’s celebrate the “Revenge of the Fifth” (A little tribute to the dark side of the Force…) Come dressed as your favorite Star Wars character! (Optional of course)

The evening will include our epic Star Wars themed competitions!

-The Hans Solo Competition (Solo dancing!)
-The Jedi Jack and Jill (Partner dance while blindfolded)

Contests are free to enter! Names will be drawn from a hat to determine who will compete (if the entry numbers are large.)

Phil McGowan & the Easy Winners, BSC favorites, will join us at Q Ballroom for another high energy gig! With their New Orleans inspired hot jazz tunes, they will get you out onto the floor all night! The Easy Winners always get the crowd moving when they play for us and and this Friday will be no exception. Digging deep into their catalog of hits from the past, they’ll light fire to tunes like the 1921 Eddie Cantor hit: “Margie” and Louis Armstrong’s “You Rascal You”.
