Join the Art Deco Society of Washington, the Junior Women’s Club of Chevy Chase, and gottaswing.com as they present the 2009 Black and White Ball, a charity gala. Proceeds benefit the Children's Inn at the National Institute of Health, a residential "place like home" for sick children and their families.
Last year's ball was a sell-out success. Our fourth annual event promises to be just as grand.
Deans of swing dance, Tom Koerner and Debra Sternberg, will be teaching an introductory swing dance lesson from 8:30 to 9:00 PM. Tom and Debra have been teaching together for over ten years. They are the 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2002, and 2003 Virginia State Open Lindy Hop champions.
Dance from 9:00 till midnight to the music of Blue Sky 5 and their lovely vocalist, Christine Crear. Whether you love to lindy hop, remember the days when "swing was king", or just appreciate good vintage jazz, you can dig all that jive with Blue Sky 5. The band’s repertoire consists of songs made popular by Count Basie, Nat Cole, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Fats Waller, along with tunes by other swing era artists.
Tom and Debra's world-famous dance team, the Eight Week Wonders, will perform during the first band break. Of course, you won't want to miss the exciting Dance Jam during the second set.
The Black and White Ball will be held at the historical Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase. The Woman's Club acquired the property in 1937 and opened the clubhouse in 1938.
Black and white semi-formal or vintage attire is highly suggested for the evening. Light refreshments and a cash bar will be available.
