Gatsby Speakeasy Dance w/ Patty and the Buttons

Overview

Dust off your glad rags and polish your dancing shoes— we’re throwing a swanky soirée fit for Gatsby himself! This year marks the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a rip-roaring night of music, dancing, and vintage revelry in the city where Fitzgerald was born.

The night kicks off at 7 pm with a Lindy Swing lesson from former competitive ballroom dancer Karin Rice Duncanson! Even if you’re a real flat tire on the dance floor, she’ll have you cutting a rug in no time. No partner needed!

At 8 PM, Patty and the Buttons, joined by a velvet-voiced jazz singer Connie Evingson, will get the joint jumping with live jazz straight out of the Roaring ’20s.

The whole affair will be the bee’s knees—think dim lights, swinging music, and a crowd ready to jazz things up in true Gatsby style! Dress to impress in your finest flapper frocks and dapper duds, or just add a touch of vintage flair—either way, all dolls and gents are welcome. Sip on a signature cocktail and grab a bite from the appetizers in the cafe, because a night like this calls for some real ritzy refreshments.

So what are you waiting for? Hightail it to the ticket booth, grab your spot, and let’s paint the town! No password needed—just bring your best moves and a thirst for a razzle-dazzle night!
