Swing dance session with live jazz band, featuring a lesson for newcomers before the band takes over.
The Rent Party Ensemble are playing Conor Byrne Pub on Monday, October 12, from 8 PM to 11 PM. It's a night that pairs a swing lesson with live Lindy Hop and jazz, a format that opens the floor to newcomers before the band takes over.
If you've never danced swing, that's the point of the early part of the evening. The lesson is there to get you moving and comfortable with the steps, so you can actually get on the floor rather than watching from the sidelines. Once the lesson wraps, the band takes over for the rest of the night, and the floor stays open for dancing. It's a Lindy Hop night, so the music is built for that specific style of swing dancing.
The name itself—Rent Party Ensemble—is a nod to the old Harlem rent parties, where people would throw a party with music and dancing to raise money for their rent. That same spirit of a social gathering around live music is what they're bringing to the pub. The whole thing runs from 8 PM to 11 PM, with the lesson coming first and the live jazz filling the rest of the night.
