LiveTanzBar 12 | 2025 - NTSO

The LiveTanzBar is a live band social event organized by the Dresden Hepcats. Regional swing bands perform here once a month at the beginning of the month. The spectrum ranges from big bands (e.g., NTSO) to small but fine jazz combos (e.g., Blue Alley Jazz Band).

The LiveTanzBar not only shines with its live swing music in a ballroom atmosphere, but also with its high profile in the Dresden swing dance community, making the evening a great opportunity to meet swing dancers, get to know them, and of course, DANCE!

Before the live band starts, our dance teachers will show you a few basics of swing dancing from 8 p.m., making the evening perfect for newcomers or beginners to get a taste of the “swing dancing” experience.

New Town Swing Orchestra

Everything comes back around. After bell-bottoms, mullets, cocktail parties, and free jazz, now even swing is making a comeback. The swing fever that has been smoldering for several years, especially in the USA, has now surprisingly spread into a worldwide epidemic and has not stopped at the Dixieland metropolis of Dresden.

Infected to such an extent and still far from cured, the NEW TOWN SWING ORCHESTRA plays swing music to listen to and, of course, to dance to.

Absolutely irresistible, fresh, danceable, and relaxed, the NEW TOWN SWING ORCHESTRA presents music that embodies a whole attitude to life. As Duke Ellington so aptly put it: “It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing).”

Admission to LiveTanzBar

As usual, admission to LiveTanzBar is free for club members (voluntary cultural contribution possible). Non-members pay €15 admission (reduced rate €12) at the door.
