Cabaret: One of Those Things: some music by
Cole Porter

Cole Porter Swing Dance at the Quinnipiac
Club
The Cole Porter Centennial at Yale wrapped up with a party featuring a dance band – led by Jay Gitlin and crooner
Ginny Bales – as they recreate the glamour of a swanky New York supper club
with their authentic renditions of hot jazz of the 1920s and 1930s and dance band
swing from the 1940s.
Dance, eat, drink, and listen to the timeless music of
Cole Porter (and his peers) at the historic Quinnipiac Club.
Begin your beguine
and brush up your fox trot and lindy-hop – or, stand back and watch the fancy
foot work of the Yale Swing and Blues dancers.
Registration entitles you to an evening of enchanting music; a buffet of elegant
hors d’oeuvres; and two vintage cocktails or glasses of wine - cash bar also
available for the extra thirsty.
Period dress encouraged!
Sophisticated attire strongly encouraged!
Witty
repartee essential!
