Douglas “The Crooner” Roegiers presents his tribute to Frank Sinatra – “The Chairman of the Board.”
From his early days with Tommy Dorsey to his golden days with The Count Basie Orchestra at The Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, through the Swinging Sixties and beyond.
Mix it all up with Doug’s unbridled swagger, sharp wit, and devil-may-care attitude and you have the recipe for a cocktail that will leave you feeling good and clambering for more. Stirred, shaken, and swinging!
Doors open at 7:00 pm
Douglas Roegers – 8:30pm

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.

Does anyone know if Douglas sings a lot? We don’t mind a bit of shtick but really come to Cicada to swing dance. There’s one regular that we avoid because it was too chatty for our taste.
Hi Marnie,
I haven’t heard of any dancers complaining about that with Douglas, but I’ve never seen him myself. Hopefully someone else can answer…
Best,
Brian
Hi Marnie,
Doug is very dancer-friendly. He’s performed for us at The Moose Lodge several times and the floor was filled the entire night each time he’s played. I hope that helped.
Thanks for answering this David!! – Brian
