Ballys atlantic city BALLY’S Celebrates Atlantic City’s historical roots with a SWING DANCE-OFF
Don’t miss Bally’s Swing Dance-Off next Thursday, January 13th 2011, Celebrating Atlantic City’s Historical Roots. There will be:
*Live Performances by The Boilermaker Jazz Band
and
Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra*
as well as *$5,000 in Cash Prizes Awarded for Style and Stamina*
There is no better time than the New Year to improve your dance moves
or simply show them off high-style jazz and swing moves, that is. Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City will 
continue
its ongoing commemoration of the city’s rich history during the 1920s
this winter at Bally’s when they kick off the very first Swing Era Dance-Off , featuring the music and dance styles of the 20s-40s, on Thursday January 13 from 6pm-12am. The Dance-Off,
which will take place at the appropriately swing-inspired Grand
Ballroom, will invite couples to participate in this six-hour
competition to show off their signature dance moves and stamina to keep
the swingin’ going. Couples can register for one of two events: a
stamina event, spanning the better part of six hours of straight
dancing, and a true-to-form, swing dance skills competition. All
dancers participating in the competition will be asked to dress in
1920′s-inspired styles as well. A half-hour special instructional
lesson will also be offered from 5:30pm-6:00pm in the Grand Ballroom.
The winning couple from each category will earn themselves a handsome
reward of $2,500 and a 1920s-inspired weekend at Bally’s, as well as bragging rights!
The hot sounds of the jazz age will come alive for dancers with sizzling live performances by two of the swing scene’s leading orchestras: The Boilermaker Jazz Band , the Pittsburgh-based 7-piece group who have been wowing fans since bandleader Paul Consentino formed the band at Carnegie Mellon University in 1988, and NYC’s popular Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra, whose authentic styles and sounds draw thousands to their events each year.
Several renowned swing instructors/professional dancers from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, will be on the judging panel and the evening will be hosted by acclaimed swing DJ Ryan Swift, which hosts the popular FRIM FRAM JAM every Thursday in NYC and is a host on the scene’s leading website/online radio network, Yehoodi.com.
“Dating back to the 1920′s, Atlantic City has long been known as one of America’s coveted seaside destination, recently brought forth by Judge Nelson’s book and the newly-minted HBO series “BOARDWALK EMPIRE,” said Don Marrandino, Eastern Division President of Caesars Entertainment . ”With the addition of the ‘Reflections of AC’ self-guided tour, the ‘Prohibition Era’ pricing at our food and beverage outlets and the ‘Swing Era Dance-Off’ at Bally’s, Atlantic City continues to evolve as a sought-after resort destination and leader of diverse entertainment offerings.”
