Hot Jazz Open Jam and Dance

Looking for a fun evening out that blends live music with dancing? Head to The Olde Oak for this community-friendly hot jazz jam and dance night. The event runs from 7:30 to 10 p.m. and is completely free to attend. Whether you're a seasoned musician, a beginner dancer, or just someone who loves the energy of live jazz, everyone is welcome here. The night kicks off with a free dance workshop at 7:30 p.m., led by an instructor from SwingColumbus who'll teach you moves that work perfectly with the quick tempos of traditional jazz. Then at 8 p.m., the jam session gets rolling on the bandstand with musicians of all kinds—instrumentalists and singers both—playing together. Bring your own instrument if you play, wear comfortable shoes for dancing, and consider bringing a friend. Charts and jam books are available online to help you prepare. This is a great way for families to experience live music in an interactive, welcoming setting.
