It's December again! I don’t know how it happened so fast, but it means we get to have another Fancy Dress Holiday Party, December 23rd! Monday Night Swing is ecstatic to be celebrating Duke Ellington (and some of the other jazz greats) with a marvelous 5-piece collaboration, led by the fearless Asher Barreras and featuring our very own songbird, Racquel Torres!

These guys did a practice run for us this summer as part of the Jazz Under the Stars line up at the ABQ Museum and knocked it out of the park. LIVE SWING MUSIC from 8:15-10:15pm. Bandi and Silke will be teaching the class at 7pm. Cover will be $15 (but ask for a discount if price is an obstacle). This includes the class, so there's no reason not to learn something!

As always, there will be fancy DECORATIONS and TREATS! Feel free to bring food to share! There will be a CHARITY RAFFLE (recipient still TBD) with awesome PRIZES (dance classes and gift certificates and some other surprises)!

There will also (hopefully) be a BAKE SALE, with lots of tasty treats to buy as gifts or for yourselves So bring some extra cash to throw around! ‘Tis the season to celebrate giving and kindness! The last few years, we’ve raised about $400 for charity. We can do better!!

Contact Silke if you’re interested in helping decorate, or baking, or have something you’d like to donate to the raffle (items or services). As the veteran volunteers know, it’s genuinely fun decorating the hall! Silke has five new boxes of decorations this year!

See you all there!!
