ANDREAS BECKETT AND HAMMERSTEIN SWING are back by popular demand! Featuring special dance numbers by Sarah Vita, whose graceful blend of Classical Ballet and Jazz Manouche will leave you spellbound! From the moment they hit the stage, Hammerstein Swing transports you to an era where the Charleston reigned supreme, and the Lindy Hop was the dance of the day. They’re a hit among vintage aficionados, igniting dance floors with their authentic renditions and infectious energy. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a newcomer to the swing scene, their performances are a ticket to a bygone era filled with joy, elegance, and unforgettable music

The Cicada Restaurant in downtown LA is one of my favorite vintage swing dance venues. You really feel like you’re going back in time when you enter this amazing Art Deco space, which has been featured on many movies and TV shows. The bands on Swing nights are always authentic.
This is primarily a restaurant and bar, not a dedicated Swing dance venue, although there are some great Swing dance nights there. Check the Lindy Calendar to see what nights have Swing dancing. Usually, it’s best to bring your own partner, but sometimes there can be many folks to dance with.
There is a formal dress code – it would be a shame for people in shorts and t-shirts to ruin the 1930’s feel. Plus, can be fun to dress up once in a while, so bring your dance crew and give the Cicada Club a try! Front floor is somewhat small, but you can also dance on the marble floor upstairs which is usually empty.
