Welcome to Savoy Night at Crystal Ballroom!
WINTER BALL: December 28, 2021
Come have a Ball! Don your fancy duds and dig out those dancing shoes and get ready to swing to Dan Gabel and The Abletones - This Holiday Variety Show Spectacular, will feature the authentic vintage sounds of The Abletones, along with the Moon Maids vocal group and special guests. The classic appeal of the big band era brings the listener back to the 1930s and 40s, sitting "By the Fireside" with family and friends. Timeless classics such as White Christmas, The Christmas Song, and Let it Snow were arranged by Gabel, along with some swinging versions of God Rest Ye, Merry Gents, Boogie Woogie Santa Claus, and even The Nutcracker Suite. This show is entertainment for the whole family, and sure to get you ‘In the Mood’ for the holidays.
Want to learn how to swing dance? We got you. We start the evening with an introductory lindy hop dance lesson, available to those who sign up, from 6 to 7pm.
We will get you up and dancing with an introduction to basic lindy hop six-count and eight-count footwork patterns, partner connection, and moving between open and closed position. The aim of this lesson is to give you the tools you need to express yourself to the music and have fun in a dance partnership. No partner required to join the lesson. Dancers will be required to wear a mask while dancing.
Dan Gabel and The Abletones take the stage at 7:30 and the live music will continue until 10pm.
Presented by The American Big Band Preservation Society, Inc.
