Get in the spirit & Have FUN Dancing at Holiday Ball

The MSU SwingCats, a student-run organization devoted to vintage dance styles, will host their 2nd annual Story of Swing Holiday Formal on Saturday, December 1st at the beautiful Story Mansion.
The festivities will kick off with a beginner-friendly lesson from 6:30–7pm, followed by social dancing to live music by Montana Manouche from 7–10pm. No partner or previous swing dancing experience is required, and everyone is welcome! Formal attire is suggested. Tickets are $25 or $15 for students, available in advance at www.eventbrite.com (search “Story of Swing”).
Montana Manouche plays swinging instrumental Gypsy Jazz music in the style of Django Reinhardt. The tunes are joyful and elegant, reminiscent of music played in Paris nightclubs in the 1940s.
The MSU SwingCats host dances, events, and workshops for anyone and everyone, students and community members alike. Their focus is on vintage swing dancing, but dancers and art forms of all shapes and sizes are welcome.
The SwingCats’ mission is to dance, teach, and promote awareness of vintage swing dancing, specializing in all realms of Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Blues, to share and enjoy the music and culture, to provide a safe and fun environment for everyone to enjoy dance, and to continually pursue personal growth on the social dance floor.
