DJ Party with DJs Kevin Lin & Katie Piselli

July 27th, 2018 | Category: dances

Join us for a swing dance with our local DJs Kevin Lin (first set) and Katie Piselli (second 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!”

Katie Piselli 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 music to satisfy beginning and experienced dancers alike. To all of you on the floor, if you’re having fun, you’re doing it right!
