Get your toes tapping at Piedmont Arts on Thursday, October 17 at 7 p.m. for a jazz-fueled dance party. Featuring the Bob Peckman Jazz Band out of Roanoke, this event will feature lively and fun swing music, a cash bar, and an open dance floor. Surprise appearances from the coaches and performers for “Dancing for the Arts” may occur. Tickets are $20 and are on sale at PiedmontArts.org or by calling the museum at (276) 632-3221.
“I’m always looking for ways that we can have more active participation in our events,” says Programs Coordinator Lauren Ellis. “What better way than getting some excellent live music going and opening the dance floor?” Ellis believes that the arts should be experienced and done by everyone. “Spectating is a great way to experience the arts, but there’s nothing better than being a part of it.”
Featuring rotating members, The Bob Peckman Jazz Band has been playing all over Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region since 2001. They were last seen at Piedmont Arts during the “Double Down for the Arts” fundraiser. More information about the band can be found at PeckmanJazz.com.
