31st to ring in the New Year? Come whoop it up with us on December 29th
with one of our favorite bands! We will be swingin in the new year in a
1940s/50s style!<br> <br> Keith Jones and The Makeshifts are truly a
throwback to the late 40's early 50's. Taking their inspiration from the
early jump blues artists along with traditional rockabilly; they create
a sound that while fresh, seems to channel these great decades of the
past. The Makeshifts are influenced by greats such as Buddy Holly,<span class="text_exposed_show"> and Elvis as well as Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris and Big Joe Turner, to name a few.<br> <br>
The Makeshifts' songs are jam-packed with quick and creative guitar
solos, soulful singing, swingin' bass walks and solid, thumping drum
beats. Every song they play, while respectful to the original, is
tweaked into the Makeshifts' style, which is full of spirit and
spontaneity.<br> <br> Be sure to arrive in time to take part in the easy
jitterbug lesson from 8pm to 9pm. 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> Immediately after the lesson (at 9 PM) the band will kick off an awesome night of music and swing dancing until 12am.<br> <br>
Everyone is welcome to come and have fun with us at the swing dance.
There is no need to have previous dance experience or a dance partner.<br> <br> Please dress to impress! And you will definitely get bonus points for dressing up in 40s or 50s gear to match the band!<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. No need to RSVP. Just show up and have fun! We have lots and
lots of room for you and all of your friends!<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.<br> <br> 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><span> For more info please call or email Valerie at 216-374-1927/</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span><a href="mailto:info@gethepswing.com">info@gethepswing.com</a> <br> <br> Please see <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.GetHepSwing.com&h=IAQHHe_C8&s=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">www.GetHepSwing.com</a>
