There was a full house at Jack Rose for Lo-Fi Entertainment's swing party tonight. This is mostly a Lindy event, which started off on the right foot with a dance lesson by Dance Manhattan. The crowd enthusiastically danced to the lively Swing Doctors. Keith Hughes played an appealing mix of songs during the breaks. The space may be not as grand as The Supper Club, the site of Lo-Fi's previous event, but there were numerous comments overheard about how great the place looked. The winter themed decorations gave the space an extra shine. This is a very friendly event where you will feel comfortable dancing whether you attend with a partner or alone.


The Swing Doctors inspired both swing-outs and swing-ins
