This Wednesday (May 27th) the Orlando Swing Band will play for dancing at the Beardall Center. We’ll be there… hope to see you there too!
The band is a full size, community based, swing orchestra that plays a mix of big band music from Glenn Miller to Count Basie. They play for the public on the 4th Wednesday of every month. The Beardall Center is a historic school building, built in the 1920s, and is located in Downtown Orlando. It has a large parquet wood floor that is smooth and great for dancing.
The dance is from 7:30 to 10pm. Admission is only $4. Where else can you dance to a big band for that price? For questions, call: 407-246-2637

Note: While the dance is on the 2nd story, enter on the first floor (side of the building) and pay admission there. The city now keeps the outside 2nd story doors locked in the evenings.
