WEEKEND DANCES

The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra will perform Sunday, Jan. 19, at 6 p.m. in Clubhouse 4. The orchestra is Leisure World’s own professional big band, playing big band swing and jazz standards under the direction of Jeff Plum. The Velvetones play at Clubhouse 4 on the first and third Sunday evenings at 6 p.m.

The big band sound is that uniquely American combination of reeds, brass, and rhythm which defined the nation’s popular music for more than three decades and which still pervades our public consciousness.

The Velvetones vividly bring this classic music to life for a new generation of audiences, authentically recreating the style, musicality, and essence of Swing Era band music. They pepper their repertoire with contemporary pop hits to broaden their audience.
