Description
Celebrate and support 92 years of music and memories at the Rockingham Ballroom with a journey from the golden age of swing to today's dance favorites, performed by the legendary Bedford Big Band!
Led by Karen Sayward, this powerhouse 19-piece orchestra delivers an electrifying mix of Swing Era classics, jazz favorites, Latin rhythms, pop hits, and high-energy dance music that keeps the floor packed all night long. Featuring soaring horns, exceptional vocalists, and world-class musicians, Bedford Big Band brings the excitement, elegance, and irresistible energy of a true big band experience to every performance.
The evening begins with a beginner-friendly Foxtrot lesson with Kim Lennon of Krystal Ballroom in Hampton Falls and there will be Dance Hosts on hand throughout the evening, making it easy for both singles and couples to enjoy the night.

Whether you're an experienced dancer or simply love great live music, this unforgettable evening is the perfect way to honor the Ballroom's rich history while creating new memories on New Hampshire's largest dance floor.
