HOUSING INFORMATION IS UP!

Free local housing within our Lancaster dance community will be offered on a LIMITED basis. We recommend having a backup plan in the event we’re unable to locate a host for you. Housing will be granted in the order it is signed up in and you can expect housing confirmation emails to go out beginning of October!

If you are a member of our local dance scene and have an extra couch/bed in your home, please consider signing up to host dancers coming in from out of town! This makes travel much more attainable for our friends coming from out of town.

We also have a hotel block for anyone interested in going that route!

SATURDAY NIGHT BAND ANNOUNCEMENT:

CHELSEA REED AND THE FAIRWEATHER FIVE!

Chelsea Reed is a jazz vocalist, arranger, composer, and bandleader living in Philadelphia. In October 2012, she invited a few friends over to play for some dancers in a South Philly living room. Since that fateful day, she's been singing and playing for blues and swing dancing audiences all over the world, adding musicians along the way as the leader of the Fair Weather Band. With five albums and over a decade of touring under their belts, Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Band continue to bring the soul of a dance to any show--whether at a jazz club, backroom blues bar, or festival stage. Their 2020 release, Carolina Lullaby showcases original songs steeped in jazz, blues, and folk traditions where Reed’s soaring vocals and swing musicality shine. In 2023, she released The Christmas EP, a collection of swinging holiday standards with her mini big band, the 10 piece orchestra Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Nine. Reed’s signature voice lives at the crossroads of barrel house blues, raucous big band swing, and the gems of the Great American Songbook for a true tour of American roots music. Reed and her bandmates draw upon the intensity and heart of the dance floor.

Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Band will be playing our Saturday night dance!
