ft. The Sonny Balcones

The Sonny Balcones are a Toronto based jazz band that combine ​30’s and 40’s swing with french jazz, new orleans trad and sultry torch songs. Their live show has a comfort and familiarity as if an old friend has invited you into their living room while they tell you about all their (mis)adventures since you last met. You’ll find yourself snapping your fingers, tapping your toes, or making eyes across the bar.

Jazz Age Waltz & Blues Supper Dance
Part of Toronto’s Roaring 20s Jazz Age Dance Weekend

The first half of the dance features 1920s Waltz music, and the second half 1920s Blues music, including later recording of 1920s tunes. Most of the dancing taught on the weekend is suitable or adaptable to Blues music, in our opinion.

Some snacks will be served (included with admission).

Supper options:
– You may bring supper and have it in the hall or at the picnic tables just outside the hall on church grounds. (There are many restaurants and such nearby on “The Danforth.”)
– Please do not bring peanuts or shellfish to the hall, because the venue has a peanut and shellfish-free policy.
