There’s very exciting news this year!  We will be doing a live broadcast of the 1940‘s White Christmas Ball to stream on the website!  Please know that by attending this event, you are granting your permission to be filmed, videotaped, audio taped or photographed, including the use of your likeness, voice and words as part of this broadcast.

“As if we were thrown into a time machine, the [venue] was transformed into a perfect replica of a 1940s post-World War II holiday party. The fabulous event brought back all the warmth and nostalgia of a more simple time!  The Dean Bushnell’s 12-piece '40s dance orchestra played most of the night for over 1,000 guests in a set right out of the movie White Christmas. Bing Crosby, the Andrews Sisters, Act Reveille4, aerialist Brandy Dew and the Boulder Swing Dance and burlesque performances delighted the guests.” -- Metromoix

 

"Don't be afraid to get your boogie woogie on at this popular appreciation of the patriotism, energy and upbeat grooves that earned this special time in history the title of the Greatest Generation."  

 

"Don your classiest dancing duds and join in this celebration of the style, culture, music and spirit of the Swing Era." -- -Josie Klemaier/Weekly Plus
