Enjoy jazz and swing tunes, learn how to swing dance and support student scholarships at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's "Swing Fling" next month.
The event will be held from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Dreyfus University Center's Laird Room. The UW-Stevens Point Jazz Ensemble will perform, with dancing taught by members of the National Dance Education student organization. Refreshments will be served, and a cash bar will be available.
Music performances from the Big Band Era will include "Take the A Train" by Duke Ellington and "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman. Music students Faith Hatch and Lexie Lakman will sing songs popularized by Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, such as "A Tisket, A Tasket," and "I Get a Kick Out of You."
Admission at the door is $8 for adults or $5 with a student I.D. Proceeds benefit jazz student scholarships.
"Swing Fling" is sponsored by the Department of Music and hosted by Delta Omicron, a music student organization.
