As our end-of-year holiday gift to all y'all, RVA Swing is pleased to welcome one of the top swing dance bands in the country to Richmond for an afternoon of dancing at a super cute historic venue!
Please note that there is NO beginner lesson at this dance. Come prepared to party, y'all.
Important Venue Note
Wilton House has limited on-site parking and is located in a very fancy residential neighborhood that has no public street parking.
Please arrive by 3:30pm to be sure you get a spot for your car!
Parking attendants will be on site for the first 30 minutes or so to help make the most of the limited space.
(Need to arrive after 3:30pm? You will be taking your chances as far as parking goes! Play it safe & take a rideshare service or have a friend drop you off if you must arrive late).
Additionally, if you can carpool with at least one other dancer we strongly encourage you to do so.
Finding Your Way:
We'll be dancing in the Dependency, not the main house. Use this handy guide to find your way.
About the Band
Keenan McKenzie & the Riffers are a swing band specializing in original music and tight arrangements from the 1930s and 1940s. The band's distinctive sound was originally developed for Keenan's debut album, Forged in Rhythm. Since then, they have performed at dance weekends from NYC to San Francisco.
The group offers a mix of unique big band reductions and swing-era combo tunes, all with a focus on energy and rhythm. Keenan leads with over a decade of experience running bands and playing for dancers. He programs shows with a critical attention to tempo and emphasizes rhythm and energy on the bandstand.
