No Dance on July 3rd, 2009

We've been having a great time dancing around the area to different live jazz bands. Due to the 4th of July holiday weekend, we are canceling the dance this week but will be back again Friday, July 10th.

Jazz in June

Rick and I are back from Frankie95 in New York City and more or less recovered :-) It was an amazing event to be there with thousands of other lindy hoppers from all over the world. Here is a link to the video that was shown at the event of people all over the world doing the Shim Sham:

Towards the end of June there are a number of jazz events
here in Idaho Falls to dance at. 

Saturday, June 20th:  Jazz on the River Jazz Festival Saturday
noon-9pm,at the Snake River Landing. This is a free event!
Music starts at noon with the Mike Banks Jazz Quartet, followed by
the Craig Green Group at 2:30 pm, then The Kevin Young Jazz Quartet
at 5 pm, and closing out the day at 7 pm is the
Kristin Korb Trio from Southern California.

Tuesday, June 23rd: The Jazz House Big Band is playing the EIRMC
Snake River Concert 7-8pm.  Rick and I have danced to them before
and they play classic big band music -yeah!

Saturday, June 27th: Kevin Young Jazz Quartet is playing at the
Cellar.  There isn't a ton of room to dance, but the Cellar has a
great atmosphere and Rick and I really enjoy dancing to this band.

We hope to see you all out dancing soon!
