Every other Wednesday from 7-10 at The Mayflower in North Hollywood, Flight 584 Big Band plays the most danceable tunes for swing dancers. Meet the musicians at the break with an informal chat in the bar. Wednesday, May 4th next opportunity. John Mitchell, director.
The Mayflower Club is a British-American Social and Networking Club that was originally a gathering place for British expats but is now open to everyone. It’s located on Victory Blvd. in North Hollywood, southwest of Burbank Airport.
One Saturday a month, Steve Sayer hosts his popular Swingin’ Soul Nights featuring a lesson and DJ’d Soul music, but many Lindy Hoppers show up.
Most evening events are $20 or $15 for members. You can become a member by paying the membership fee ($35 as of this writing) at the door.
The Woody James 16-Piece Big Band plays most Friday afternoons from 1 to 3 PM. Cover is $10. Note, the afternoon performances don’t have a huge number of dancers; these are more for listening. Bring your own partner if you go to an afternoon performance and want to dance!
The venue also has a full bar. Evening dances are 21 and over, but we’ve never been carded.
