On behalf of the Kent Senior Activity Center’s evening dancers, I would like to thank the Kings of Swing 17 piece big band for volunteering to perform during the Tuesday evening dance program for the past several years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With increased attendance we hope they will continue for many years to come. The Kings of Swing play every first Tuesday from 7:45 to 9:30 p.m. with a brief break at 8:30. They will play on Tuesday, Feb. 5, but the hardwood dance floor will be closed for maintenance during their March 6 date, resuming April 3. On all other Tuesday evenings, singer\/guitarist Randy Litch provides a variety of ballroom dance music from 7:30-9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Many residents may not know that these dances are open to all ages, not just 50-and-older participants and the cover charge is only $4 for all ages at the door. Light refreshments are provided for a nominal donation by local facilities, including Cascade House, The Weatherly Inn, Farrington Court, Stafford Suites and Radcliffe Place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We are hoping to increase participation so these Tuesday evening live band dances can continue on an ongoing basis. The Kent Senior Activity Center, the only senior facility in King County hosting weekly evening dances open to the community, is located at 600 E. Smith St.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
