Augmented by the sound system, the floor was packed, but not too packed, with flyin' dancers.There was even a vintage clothing contest and a dance contest with a $150 prize. ($10 entrance fee though, boo.) Admission was a pretty steep though, $15. But, I think it was totally worth it. I believe that it is 21 and over only, although they still stamped your hand after checking id, so maybe it is 18 and over after all. Lessons were given by, erm, dang, I forget the guy's name, and I don't know the good dancers by name yet--somebody and Corinne? It was a fairly perfunctory introduction to simple East Coast. Upcoming bands include Johnny Crawford and Bill Elliot. I think we should all support the Palace because it is such an incredible venue for swing. Now, if only the Palladium had swing nights...
