Photo Flash: CM Performing Arts Center Presents SWING! In The Noel S. Ruiz Theatre
By: A.A. Cristi
"Two thirds rhythm and one third soul." That's how Fats Waller defined the uniquely American form of popular music and dance known as 'swing.' Requiring only joyful enthusiasm and a ready partner, swing exploded out of pre-war Harlem's hotbed of youth culture and swept the world.
It shattered ethnic and cultural barriers, generating specialty styles such as Jive, Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, and Hip-Hop Swing. SWING! celebrates this remarkable diversity to the beat of the most exhilarating songs of the period. As this enthralling song-and-dance show makes abundantly clear, swing was never a time or place -- it has always been a state of mind!
For more information or to order tickets please contact the Box Office at (631) 218-2810 or visit our website at www.cmpac.com. SWING! is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: http://www.rnh.com.Photo Credit: CM Performing Arts Center
