Join New England Botanic Garden for a high-energy dance concert of timeless big band swing featuring the 18-piece local talent, the Beantown Swing Orchestra. Step back in time as the band brings the golden age of swing to life with a vibrant mix of instrumental and vocal classics. Learn basic swing moves to dance the night away or sit back and enjoy the music with a picnic and a pint in the Lawn Garden. Whether you are a seasoned dancer, a curious beginner, or simply want to take in the sights and sounds, there is something for everyone to enjoy.


The band will be offering a beginner swing dance lesson at 6 p.m., then will play from 6:30–8:30 p.m. with a Shim Sham line dance lesson during their break. The lesson rotates leads and followers frequently which is a great way to meet people! No partner or experience is required. In addition to the Shim Sham and other line dances, the band will organize other fun activities, including a dance-off, Soul Train Line, circle jam, beach ball bonanza, bubble machine, and more.
