Galaxie’s “Battle of the Bands” - their Biggest Annual Swing Dance Event!
CHICAGO, Ill. – Drawing the largest turnout of the year at the Galaxie, the third annual “Battle of the Bands” DJ contest promises to be no different this year on Saturday, March 20. Doors open at 8pm, the battle begins at 8:30pm and the dancing goes until 1am.
Each of several of Chicago’s swing DJs will represent a jazz artist or ensemble from the swing era of the 1930s and ‘40s in the tunes they play, using their best material to keep the dancers on the floor and themselves in first place.
The event averages well over 100 people in attendance, including swing dancers from around Chicago and surrounding cities, Galaxie swing dance students, people interested in trying swing dancing and more. All those interested in swing dancing and the music from the swing era are invited, regardless of experience, and are encouraged to participate in the beginner lesson; no partner or experience is required.
Last year’s event was teeming with energy and excitement as the DJs battled it out, with decked out “ring girls” parading the room, generating wild applause from dancers and onlookers. Dancers of all levels were keeping the nearly 2000 square foot, high-ceilinged room bouncing all night, cheering on the DJs and taking advantage of the exciting social atmosphere created by the space and community of dancers.
The Galaxie’s goal is to bring music, movement, fine art, health and well being to a central place and invite all to participate. They teach swing dance, tap dance and visual art classes, rent studios for various artists and performing groups and host a children’s arts camp.
