Sock Hop with The Impacs

Swing Time presents this sock hop featuring The Impacs, the band that "backed the great hit-makers of 1957-1964 as part of that famous traveling roadshow, Dick Clark's Cavalcade of Stars." The band backed Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Jan & Dean, The Coasters, Ray Stevens, The Everly Brothers, and more. They also played teen sock hops in the early 1960s, Swing Time says.

If you're worried about feeling rusty on the dance floor, there is a free hour of dance lessons -- no partner needed -- featuring jitterbug and swing before the band begins at 9pm.

Wear your best 1950's attire. All ages welcome. There will be door prizes and contests during the night.
