Dance lessons coincide with Ice Cream Social
South Jackson Civic Center and Ann Baldwin are teaming up and offering three dance lessons just in time to really enjoy the Ice Cream Social and the big band sounds of South Jackson Street Band. Learn to fox-trot, cha-cha and swing. This is an outstanding opportunity for singles and couples to learn the basic steps and movements. Both beginners and those wishing to brush up their techniques are welcome. Lessons will be held at South Jackson Civic Center on Tuesdays and Thursday, July 18, 20, and 25 from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Cost is $25 per person.
Join us as we step back into a time when the whole town gathered to picnic on the grass, listen to a great band, dance the early evening away, eat ice cream sundaes and visit with their neighbors and local business owners. Slip on your dancing shoes and join the South Jackson Street Band in celebrating a “Midsummer Night?s Swing” Ice Cream Social on Thursday evening, July 27, on the grounds at the South Jackson Civic Center, 404 S. Jackson Street, Tullahoma.
Bring a lawn chair and a friend and listening to the “swinging” sounds of the Big Band Era as we get you “In The Mood” for building your own ice cream sundaes. Join our “Moonlight Serenade” as we take you back to the days when the radio was the central focus in a household.
The South Jackson Street Band performs with 19 members. The musicians come from all over the Middle Tennessee region to help preserve the sounds of the Big Band era and foster the love of ballroom dancing. These talented musicians concentrate on the classic Big Band Sounds of the 30s, 40s, and 50s but they also throw in a smattering of more modern tunes.
Join us on the grounds at the Civic Center on July 27 and get ready to build your own ice cream sundae. Specialty toppings will be available for all tastes ? whether you are chocolate lover or a nut lover. Join the fun and listen to some great music. Ice cream is being provided by Purity Dairies.
Cost for the Midsummer Night?s Swing Ice Cream Social will be $10 per person and reservations can be made by calling the Civic Center at 931-455-5321 or online at www.southjackson.org, “reservations”.
