Tuesday, Jan 8, 2008 • SDLI Tuesday Dances - VENUE CHANGE - Brennan’s Closed - NO DANCE • SDLI
There will be no SDLI dance on Tuesday, January 8th, 2008. The board is actively looking for a new place to host our weekly dances that would be a good match to the venue and our club. Please check back on our website for further updates and add yourself to our e-mail announcement list. To add yourself to the email, click on the “E-mail” link at the top right hands side of the banner.
We just got word that the Brennan’s Irish Pub in Hauppauge has closed as of January 1, 2008. This the location we have been holding our Swing Dances for the last 2 and half years.
As you may know, Swing Dance Long Island is an independent organization, so even though Brennan’s has closed, Swing Dancing on Tuesday will not disappear, we are just going to find an alternate venue for our Tuesday Dance.
We are currently scrambling to locate a new location for our Tuesday Evening Swing Dance. If you have a possible location with a nice wooden floor, that would be good for a Tuesday Swing Dance. Please let us know.
Please check back for the new location.

On Friday, January 11th, 2008 at 7pm & 9:30pm, the Inter-Media Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with swinging Big Band group Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
Drums pound, feet tap, fingers snap. A sultry voice begins to croon, and suddenly the horns make their entrance. Man, these cats have got rhythm, and now the vintage-clad crowd is boogying with unharnessed glee. Welcome to the swing scene, where the music, dance, and style of the 1940’s have been revived with a passion. Welcome to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!
Drums pound, feet tap, fingers snap. A sultry voice begins to croon, and suddenly the horns make their entrance. Man, these cats have got rhythm, and now the vintage-clad crowd is boogying with unharnessed glee. Welcome to the swing scene, where the music, dance, and style of the 1940’s have been revived with a passion. Welcome to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had led the international revival of the jump of the Big Band era, with a sound that is not just big and bad, but huge and awesome! In the rich traditions of musical masters Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has jumped into the spotlight of the swing dance craze with a brassy, updated and upbeat style of jazz.
Their credits include performing as the halftime entertainment at the Super Bowl, Orange Bowl, The White House, Billboard Music Awards and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. The group’s videos are routinely featured on MTV and VH1. The band’s biggest break came when they were cast to be the musical focal point of the movie “Swingers”. With a truly contagious sound, rhythm and lyrics that bring passion back into music, Big Band Voodoo Daddy will feed your soul.
Tickets for this performance are $45.00 ($34.00 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC’s 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS. Tickets can also be purchased at the theater from noon to 6PM, Tuesday through Friday, and after 2PM on the day of the performances or online at http://www.imactheater.org. For further information, call IMAC’s business office at (631) 549-9666.
