This is an *Ocean's Eleven* theme party, so I invite you all to dress vintage 60's Vegas or like one of Sinatra's Rat Pack. It really doesn't matter what you wear as long as you LOOK MONEY! We've got jazz standards and swingin' tunes made famous by the Rat Pack from DJs Carl and Steven from 8-10p, then dance to the ultra-suave sounds of San Diego's newest Jazz combo, Shay La Vie, from 10:15p-11:30p. In honor of my Birthday, there'll also be special dance performances from Dizzy with a Dame and a Surprise Cameo Appearance at 10p that you won't want to miss!
Lindy 1 & 2 Classes from 7-8p.
Open Swing Dancing from 8-11:30p.
Dizzy with a Dame performs at 9p.
Surprise Cameo Performance at 10p.
Shay La Vie plays Jazz music from 10:15-11:30p.
