Please dress in your best Great Gatsby attire \u2013 flapper costumes, suits, slacks, fine evening wear. Men, slick back that hair. The social dance party will transport you in time back to the Roaring Twenties and includes an MC, professional and student performances, beverages, hors d&#8217;oeuvres, and a lot of dancing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most popular dances in the 1920s were the foxtrot, waltz and American tango \u2013 all staples of Fred Astaire Dance Studio\u2019s group and private classes with our outstanding instructors. The Charleston and Lindy Hop also had their devotees. So come and join us and twirl the night away on the dance floor in a way that would make Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan jealous.<\/p>\n<p>As they\u2019d have said in the 1920s, this party will be the bee\u2019s knees (the best). Don\u2019t be a wet blanket (someone who\u2019s no fun). See you on Thursday, April 28, 7:30 p.m., old sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Was there ever a time that partied like the Roaring Twenties?
