Step into the past with the Crimson Coast Dance Society and Twilight Radio Theatre for an evening of live music, live radio, 40's games, paparazzi, and Swing dancing!

If the entertainment weren’t enough, you’ll also be invited to enjoy some era-appropriate food and drink, a covertly conducted dance and costume contest that you won’t even know has happened until the winners are announced and the paparazzi flash photographs. Throw in swingo, singing telegrams, and a photo booth for good measure, and you’ve got yourself a wonderful way to spend an evening while supporting two great organizations.

Don't be a flat tire. Get all dolled up and dappered out. MC, GLORIA, will provide some dancing coaching sos you kin grandstand at the competition:
Awards:
- Best Hoofer/s        - Most Spiffy Dresser/s

...and bring a lot of lettuce for a little giggle water, some killer diller tasties, er to send a singing telegram to someones you drugstore cowboys are carrying a torch for. There will be plenty to do aside from dancing just watch for the shady dealing on the side.
