Newport is back!!!
With one small change... we are now the "Newport Jazz Age Weekend". Same great event, just a more appropriate name!
This year we have a special lineup and a great theme. Celebrate Juneteenth weekend with us as we pay tribute to "The History and Influence of Black American Culture in Jazz and Swing". All weekend we will have talks and dance classes lead by NYC instructor Odysseus Bailer! He has given many talks on these subjects and does an amazing job bringing the time period to life. He is incredible dancer as well and will be helping present an intro class to 8-count swing as well as styling moves for more advanced dancers.
Between classes on Saturday we will have our traditional lawn party picnic. Details will be announced soon for a special activities. Then get ready for a really special Black-Tie Ball headlined by "Taryn Newborne and the Real Deal"!!! This band knows how to play for dancers and will be perfect for enjoying what you learned in class.
Weekend Registration is now open and Day Tickets will go on sale in February. Don't miss out!
If you're new to the event feel free to email or PM with questions. Full details at: www.bostonvintage.org/gbvs-events/newport-jazz-age-weekend.
