Zoot Suit Revue dance show to benefit Hospice
Saturday, August 09, 2003
MILO - The premiere dance team of the Back Door Dance Studio of Eddington will present "The Zoot Suit Revue," on Saturday, Sept. 27, as a benefit fundraiser for Pine Tree Hospice. The high-energy Swing dancing extravaganza will start 7 p.m. at the Milo Town Hall auditorium.

Admission will be $5 for adults and $3 for students, tickets available at the door. Proceeds will benefit Pine Tree Hospice, which provides volunteer services for individuals and families in the Penquis region during the process of dying and bereavement.

The Zoot Suit Revue takes audiences back to the 1940s, when Swing dancing was performed by men in their bright flashy zoot suits, and women in their traditional-style swing dresses. The show also includes a tribute to the 1950s Jitterbug, a synchronized, ballroom waltz, lots of Lindy-hop, and a jazzy 1920s Charleston with women in their flapper dresses. The dance team will perform a 1940s Shim-sham, and the show ends with a high-stepping "swing jam."

The dance team of the Back Door Dance Studio performs regularly throughout Maine, frequently offering their services for free to assist non-profit organizations. More information on the dancers is available on the Internet at www.backdoordance.com. For additional details on the Sept. 27 show, contact Hospice at 564-4346.
