Dance to The Craig Gildner Big Band on Saturday, February 16th

DCLX is proud to present the premier performance of The Craig Gildner Big Band in the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park on Saturday, February 16th!

This 12 piece orchestra combines the finest talent from the DC area with vintage arrangements designed for dancing. A big band is only as good as its rhythm section, and The Craig Gildner Big Band is a serious contender. The dynamics and blend of the sections creates an exciting experience: it can whisper and roar all in the same song. Also featuring Lucian Cobb on trombone and the lovely Laura Windley on vocals from the Mint Julep Jazz Band. Don’t miss the premier event for CGBB!!

The dance is $16 and begins at 9pm. There will be a beginner swing lesson included in the cost of the dance from 8:00-9:00 PM.

Hope to see you all there!

Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns at DCLX 2013!

If you’ve heard Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns before you’ll know there’s only one thing better than dancing to their horn filled, New Orleans style swing and blues– dancing to them twice at the biggest and baddest exchange of the year. DCLX 2013 wants you to be a Lucky Devil, so we’ve got the amazing songstress and her stable of gritty New Orleans horn blowers playing Friday Main and Saturday Late Night, April 19th and 21st.

Are you chomping at the bit to be stomping up a fit at DCLX? You can secure your spot starting January 15th, when full weekend registration opens. Pay $80 for the full weekend, guarantee yourself a spot at every dance, and save $16 off the a la carte price. Head over to www.dclx.net on the 15th to get your full weekend ticket.
