Swyngwood

Friday, May 20 2016

8:00 PM-1:00 AM

Step back in time for a vintage-inspired cultural immersion at Swyngwood in Miami’s cultural arts epicenter, Wynwood on May 20, 2016. Swyngwood’s mission is to inspire social change by bringing people together for deeper human connections through vintage swing dance and its culture.

In the 1940s, segregation was commonplace, but several Historians credit swing dance and music for leading the way to integration, bridging the gaps between communities. South Florida Lindy Collective (SFLC) aims to bridge gaps that continue to exist today. Swing dance instruction will encourage attendees to meet their neighbors, rotate partners, and make new friends to build a stronger sense of community.

Also on Swyngwood’s jam-packed agenda:
– The Pitbull of Blues Band performing rockabilly and blues to keep the party hopping.
– Burlesque performances by Miss Jenna Beth and Candy Muldune showcasing the class and sass of yesteryear.
– View Swyngwood’s Inaugural Rat Rod Car Exhibition, curated by Russ G Events and Miami Movie Cars
– Try our signature Swyngwood Ale or O.G., carefully crafted by Infected Brewery*

– Vintage fashion and treasures available from the LA Boudoir’s pop-up shop.*
– Photography sessions with Erika Nelly Photography, Pin-Up Photographer featured in Delicious Dolls Magazine, Teased Pin Up Magazine, and Vintage Affair Magazine.*

*additional cost for participation

Swyngwood will take place at the exclusive Toejam Backlot. Doors open at 8:00PM. Pre-sale tickets are available online for $15 at http://swyngwood.lindycollective.com/ or at the door for $20.
