For the third consecutive year, Rittenhop invites you to Jazz Town, a celebration of the Baltimore and Philadelphia swing dancing scenes. With events happening in both cities the first weekend in May, enjoy a free swing dance at Cherry Street Pier featuring live music by Ben Cohen and the Collaboration. Plus, enjoy the Knee Bustin Battle Royale competition – see some of Baltimore and Philly’s favorite dancers compete against each other. If you have never danced before, don’t worry! There will be beginner lessons at noon.
The event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
