join us at the Waterloo Ballroom Swing Dance on Saturday, November 24th
as we welcome back The Syncopated Sin Swing Band. </b><br> <br>The
Syncopated Sin Swing Jazz Band was created by Vance Music Studios’
teachers to entertain crowds at Ingenuity’s Speakeasy 2.0 fundraiser
with a night of jazz and swing. Turns out, Syncopated Sin’s expertise is
fulfilling a specialty that is taking them to swing shows around the
city. “There’s a lot of bands around town that play swing but they don’t do period ‘20s and ‘30s
pieces,” Vance says of his group’s niche, “there’s a lot of great jump
blues bands, swing era bands, and there’s a lot of good jazz bands but
none of them really dial into the ‘20s, ‘30s, early ‘40s.” Despite jazz’s foundation dating back to the ‘20s, Vance cites
technology as a major influence in his band’s practice: internet
channels such as YouTube are essential in rediscovering and studying the
classics played on vinyl. As a band of young musicians, Syncopated
Sin’s challenge is mastering these classics for modern audiences. Say Vance on bridging the gap, “All of us are under 35, none of us were
alive when Ellington or even Coltrane were a hit; we grew up in a whole
different jazz culture. To pull it back out, it gives you a whole new
perspective. “Some of the tunes are the same as you’d do in a
modern gig but you have to approach it totally different. ‘Bye Bye
Blackbird’ – you can listen to Miles Davis play it, you can listen to
Coltrane play it, but to play the 1920s version you have to strip it
back. It’s kind of cool to go backwards because you really see how jazz
evolved.”</div><div id="id_50aa58f003c807803126990" class="text_exposed_root text_exposed"><br></div><div id="id_50aa58f003c807803126990" class="text_exposed_root text_exposed"><b>LIVE BAND TIMES:</b> The Syncopated Sinners will play from 9pm until 12am.<br><div class="text_exposed_show"> <br><b>DANCE LESSON TIME:</b> From 8-9pm there will be an easy and fun Jitterbug
lesson. We always review the basic Jitterbug step, talk about the
basics of leading and following, and then show a few new moves. Each
lesson is unique and you will always pick up new moves and hints each
time you attend a pre-dance lesson at a Get Hep Swing event. These
lessons are appropriate for brand spankin new dancers all the way up to
advanced dancers. You will not be disappointed! <br> <br><b>WHERE?:</b> 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,

ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have alcoholic and
