 ening at Glen Echo: DCLX welcomes Michael Gamble and the Rhythm Serena
 ders Orchestra to the historic Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo National 
 Park in Glen Echo, Maryland. The Rhythm Serenaders are an aggressively
  faithful presentation of tightly-arranged, riff-dominated swinging sm
 all-group jazz created for a swing dancing public. You’ll hear caref
 ul transcriptions and subtle adaptations of Goodman/Christian Sextet, 
 with thoughtful forays into the combo work of Ellington, Basie, as wel
 l as some of the later 40s material put down by Eldridge, especially h
 is time with Artie Shaw. With Laura Windley featured on vocals, the ba
 nd also explores the Billie Holiday songbook. Dance starts at 9pm, fre
 e beginner lesson at 8pm. Price: $25.\r\nSaturday afternoon at Dupont 
 Circle: Join us as we swing out under the Dupont Circle fountain to bo
 th live music and some great sets by our favorite DJs. From the City o

 \r\nSaturday night at Glen Echo: DCLX returns Saturday night to the Sp
 anish Ballroom at Glen Echo National Park in Glen Echo, Maryland to we
 lcome The Jonathan Stout Orchestra, featuring Hilary Alexander. The Jo
 nathan Stout Orchestra is the nation’s premier swing dance big band.
  The 15-piece Orchestra showcases the big band sound of the late 1930s
  and early 1940s and captures the unmatched excitement and true rhythm
 ic pulse of the Swing era. Following the templates of Benny Goodman an
 d Count Basie the orchestra is aggressive and tight, and filled with a
 ll-star soloists that bring the fire on every song, regardless of temp
 o. Dance starts at 9pm, free beginner lesson at 8pm. Price: $25.\r\nSu
 nday evening at Catholic University of America’s Caldwell Hall: To c
 lose out the weekend, DCLX welcomes a local favorite, Craig Gildner an
 d the Ivy City Six. Craig Gildner have been playing traditional swing 
 music since 1999. While other “neoswing” bands were donning outrag
 eous zoot suits and playing jump blues, Craig was delving into the tru
 e classic repertoire of the swing era small bands from Basie, Ellingto
 n, Goodman and Shaw. They play both the classics as well as original s
 ongs and arrangements that stay true to the swing lexicon: you’d har
 dly know if it was written in 1944 or 2014! Dance starts at 8pm. Price
 : $20.\r\nFor more information, please visit DCLX.org. Tickets are ava
 ilable at the door, or you can register for the full weekend in advanc
