On Saturday, January 8, 2005, the 92nd Street Y rings in the New Year in style with a spectacular evening of music and dancing celebrating Jazz Age dance and the roots of Lindy Hop. There’s so much planned, the dance runs an extra hour longer (running ’til 2am)! For starters, the incomparable Michael Arenella’s 11-piece Blue Orchid Dance Orchestra will keep the joint jumpin’ with a mix of ’30s-style swing and ’20s-style dance jazz, perfect for dancing not only the lindy hop but also peabody, charleston and balboa (as well as collegiate shag, foxtrot and a dash of tango).

We perform and teach popular and historical social dances of the Jazz Age and Swing Era and have appeared on stage, independent film, and local and national television. Known for our performance and our research of social dancing, we also consult and choreograph for period productions, particularly those set in the Roaring Twenties. Though we do not regularly compete, we have placed in a number of competitions, including 1st in the 2004 American Lindy Hop Championships Fast Dance division.
