The band has performed steadily since its inception in front of enthusiastic audiences and fans of ball room dancing. With both a male and female vocalist, the band covers a wide range of styles and eras – from Sinatra to Norah Jones, and from Swing to R&B and more modern arrangements – all designed for the listening and dancing pleasure of its audiences.
