For the third consecutive year, Rittenhop invites you to Jazz Town, a celebration of the Baltimore and Philadelphia swing dancing scenes. With events happening in both cities the first weekend in May, enjoy a free swing dance at Cherry Street Pier featuring live music by Ben Cohen and the Collaboration. Plus, enjoy the Knee Bustin Battle Royale competition -  see some of Baltimore and Philly's favorite dancers compete against each other.

If you have never danced before, don't worry! There will be beginner lessons at noon.
