SWING ESSENCE
Swing Essence has been a favorite of Colorado dance fans since 2004. Based on the idea that people of all ages love to dance to the classics, this group selects material from the 1930's to the 1990's, based on popularity, choosing those that really swing, groove, or rock at the top of their class. Just as important, the music is always arranged specifically for their 7-piece format.
