Come celebrate American Bandstand – the iconic TV show that featured the best music of the 1950s and 60s – with our special edition 5th Wednesday WWE. We’ll be celebrating American Bandstand’s iconic master of ceremonies – Dick Clark as well as ‘National Perpetual Youth Day’. DJ Kurt and DJ Art will recreate the music and vibe of American Bandstand with many of our favorite WWE music selections – swing, cha-cha, foxtrot, waltz and more! There will be two short consecutive lessons before the dance in back beat Jitterbug and a new couples mixer (no waltz lesson). Come ready to dance the night away!
