Calling all lindy hoppers, balboa-heads, charleston nuts, and shag enthusiasts! Come on out to Portland's longest-running swing dance, bringing you fantastic live jazz music on Norse Hall's magnificent floor.
In 1990, Rose City Pride Bands was formed by a small number of committed musicians who shared a passion for making music and gay community pride. Rose City Pride Bands has grown over the years to encompass the 3 groups that currently make up the organization: Rose City Wind Symphony, Rose City Swing, and the Rose City Pride Marching Band. Rose City Pride Bands provide an artistic outlet that is open to all LGBTQ+ people and supportive friends.
We’re pleased to welcome Rose City Swing Band to play for us!
