join us at the Waterloo Ballroom Swing Dance on Saturday, August 25th
as we welcome a unique group of musicians from Georgia who are ready to
entertain you for your listening and dancing pleasure. 1920s attire is
highly encouraged, but not a necessity.<br> <br>Blair Crimmins & The Hookers are a band of ten musician who supply Crimmins with upright bass, tuba, soprano saxophone,
clarinet, and lap steel - an unlikely combination of instruments, but a
harmoniously solid one nonetheless. Together this coterie transports
their listeners back into a world in which men still wear bowties and
golf caps while performing, flapper girls sparkle while dancing to
counter the sinister tones of the music, and the audience is always
willing to get up and dance."(Performer Magazine) Wanna get a sneak peak

"The Musical Styling of Blair Crimmins & The Hookers is an unusual
product in today's music scene. It's one of the few albums that doesn't
quite fit into any particular genre. The very first note immediately
sends the listener back to a 1920s Vaudeville theatre, where Blair
Crimmins intoxicates an audience with his smooth voice and The Hookers
support him with flawlessly appropriate musical accompaniment. The
lyrics are narrative and witty, intelligent and entertaining, and
Crimmins' energy is so engaging that it's easy to overlook the outlier
quality of this album. You'll find yourself wanting more tawdry jazz
just like it. Crimmins' accompanies himself on a wide range of
instruments: piano, guitar, tenor banjo, ukulele, accordion, organ,
vibraphone, trash, and percussion.<br> <br> From 8-9pm there will be
some simple instruction by Dani Dowler and friends on the basics of the
Charleston and some fabulous and fun side by side Charleston moves.<br> <br>
The Waterloo Ballroom at the Slovenian Workmen's Home is located in the
very artsy and lively Collinwood neighborhood. The address is 15335
Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, Ohio 44110. The Slovenian not only has a
beautiful ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have
alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds for sale--including a
very special Slovenian beer- Lasko! There will also be some sweet and
savory snacks for sale in the bar as well.<br> <br> There are TWO
parking lots to the right of the ballroom and there is also some street
parking as well. However, if you can carpool with friends that would be
recommended. We also have a security guard who keeps an eye on the hall
and both parking lots.<br> <br> No need to make reservations or buy
tickets in advance. The event is $12 per person. Students and seniors
with a valid ID pay only $10 per person.</div><div class="text_exposed_show"><br></div><div class="text_exposed_show">Please keep in mind that these swing dances are not just for swing dancers.
