Celebrate the resilience of a community in struggle through swing music and dance! This multi-part program will explore the impact of swing music and dance on youth in America’s concentration camps through personal storytelling, history, and dancing.
Join for a social swing dance with live music from The Fabulous Esquires Big Band and opportunities for all to be a part of the experience. Rusty Frank will lead a dance lesson for those of any dance experience, followed by an afternoon of popular tunes from the 1940s and a chance for all generations to connect through immersive history.
