Jazz Town presented by Rittenhop
Join us on May 4 from 1 pm to 4 pm at Cherry Street Pier for Jazz Town, a swing dance event hosted by Rittenhop. The event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
For the third consecutive year, Rittenhop invites you to Jazz Town, a celebration of the Baltimore and Philadelphia swing dancing scenes. With events happening in both cities the first weekend in May, enjoy a free swing dance at Cherry Street Pier featuring live music by Ben Cohen and the Collaboration. Plus, enjoy the Knee Bustin Battle Royale competition – see some of Baltimore and Philly’s favorite dancers compete against each other. If you have never danced before, don’t worry! There will be beginner lessons at noon. For more information, visit www.jazzattackswings.com/jazztown or rittenhop.org.

Rittenhop is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing in the joys of swing dancing and jazz music within the city. What started as a small group of friends meeting up to dance in Rittenhouse Square has now blossomed into a fully fledged organization, striving to connect with more communities around the city.
