LiveTanzBar 03 | 2026 - Red Tower Big Band

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.

Red Tower Big Band

With this powerful big band sound, you can't help but swing along – we promise! The Red Tower Big Band consists of 20 enthusiastic and ambitious amateur musicians from Kamenz and the surrounding area. They really enjoy playing brass, woodwind, and string instruments across a range of genres, including rock, pop, Latin, and ska.

Of course, they can't quite leave that behind this evening, but don't worry: it's still all about “Dance With Me” and “The Way You Look Tonight”! From Charleston and Dixieland to swing standards like Sing, Sing, Sing and Chattanooga Choo Choo, they've got it all – let yourself be surprised and enjoy!
