Learn from our Dance Team members who are some of the most talented dancers on the swing scene today. Each of us specializes in the swing styles that emerged out of the 1920s – 1950s here in America. We cherish these dances and love sharing them so that they will live on and on. Maybe you'll be part of the next generation of talent.

Jumpin’ Entertainment is thrilled to bring you another Twistin’ & Shakin’ Dance Party on LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2016 when we feature the Little Big Band outfit SWINGADELIC!
And look out for members of the Rhythm Stompers who may perform a showcase number LIVE.
Swingadelic, known as New York City’s greatest “little big band,” will deliver the solid big band feel of Ellington, Basie, Billy Eckstine, Hampton, Sinatra, along with fabulous 50’s Rock n Roll, Jump Blues and some Bang up Boogie Woogie.
The VFW HALL is a former Asbury Park National Guard Armory, (now the VFW) dates back to 1915 and once housed troupes heading for World Wars I and II. But in the 1940’s and 1950’s it also played another historic role. The large hall inside provided space for huge dances, featuring some of the country’s leading African American music entertainers. (Asbury Park was a segregated city at that time.) There was no stage in the Armory then, only a large wooden dance floor with an overlooking second floor balcony. Billy Eckstine played there in 1944, with young Dizzy Gillespie in his band.
