Live at the Jazz Bar Winter Series

As part of SPAC’s vision to extend programming beyond the traditional summer months, it announced a new “Live at the Jazz Bar” Winter Series, which will kick-off 2018 with three free evenings dedicated to Latin, swing and ballroom music and dancing. The first event, slated for February 8 from 7 p.m. – 10p.m., is “LATIN NIGHT” and will feature salsa dance lessons from Diane Lachtrupp and Johnny Martinez, co-directors of Tango Fusion Dance Company, and live music from Alta Havana; a cash bar from Mazzone Hospitality will also be available. Reservations for these free events are recommended; visit spac.org for details. The “Live at the Jazz Bar” series began in 2017, revitalizing a unique space that’s evocative of the jazz era that was flourishing when the Hall of Springs was built. “Live at the Jazz Bar” features live music by acclaimed regional and New York City-based ensembles and is part of an effort to provide year-round programming at SPAC, while also creating a dedicated space for social dancers and music connoisseurs. Additional “Jazz Bar” events include Swing Night with Annie and the Hedonists (3/8); and Ballroom Night with Golfstrom with Peter Davis (4/12).
