About event
📣📣Calling all lindy hoppers, balboa-heads, charleston nuts, and shag enthusiasts! Come on out to Portland's longest-running swing dance, bringing you fantastic live jazz music on Norse Hall's magnificent floor.
The BundyBand "Sweet Preserves" Jazz Band plays traditional New Orleans jazz and swing. This music is characterized by relentless rhythms, nostalgic harmonies, and wild group improvisation. Some of the songs are 100 years old, but they still feel electric somehow.
