Ladies and Gentleman, Friends and Guests! Join us August 12th as we bring the elegance of
ballroom dance – and the excitement of New York City – to the Edmond town hall stage!
Inspired by the classic 1920’s tune by Blake and Lawlor, our talented cast of amateur and
professional dancers will sweep you off your feet as we ‘trip the light fantastic’ through some of
New York’s most beloved scenes.
Enter the Edmond’s front doors and be teleported to the bustling heart of New York, Times
Square! Guests can pose for photos, take in the sites, and visit some of the vendor stalls for
street-snack faves before stopping by the ticket booth. Then it’s on to the show.
From a dimly lit bar where the sultry sounds of tango move the patrons' feet, to an alleyway in
Spanish Harlem where the clave rhythm makes hearts beat faster, our dancers celebrate New
York’s rich ballroom dance heritage. Whether it’s the velvet curtains of a Broadway stage, or
the extended cap of a street performer, each scene is richly brought to life for your
entertainment!
Following the show, it's YOUR turn to get in the action! Head upstairs, where the Edmund’s
Alexandria room has been transformed into the “the world’s finest ballroom” – the legendary
Savoy! Dress to impress, and dance the rest of the night away to classics from the Savoy
Ballroom’s glory days as New York’s preeminent swing hot-spot, as well as plenty of modern
ballroom hits!
So, don’t miss the chance to ‘trip the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York” right in your
own back yard!!!
