Swing Dance Party with Live Music
From 07:00 pm until 11:00 pm
At Veterans Memorial Building Upstairs Ballroom
1626 Willamette St, Eugene, OR 97401
Please join us for day 1 our celebration of 11 years of Swing Dancing in Eugene! We will have an Intro lesson from Track Town Swing Instructors and 3 hours of live music from the Stealin Apples!
The Stealin’ Apples is pianist Shane Allen’s love letter to classic, rowdy, four-on-the-floor swing dance music.
Since the age of 16, Shane has been a gigging musician and dedicated student of the jazz tradition, blessed with the opportunity to learn from modern giants (Robert Glasper, Ethan Iverson) as well as classic masters (Sebastian Whitaker, Dennis Dotson).
After graduating from the acclaimed jazz program at Houston, TX’s High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Shane was a four-year staple member of St. Olaf College’s top jazz band, which won Downbeat Magazine’s Best Large Ensemble award in 2011.
Since graduating, he has worked as a modern/ballet dance accompanist, played for lindy hop house parties in Minneapolis, and haunted the many late night jams at Herräng Dance Camp.
