SUMMARY:Tea Dances at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center with Oxygen Tango
DESCRIPTION:The Wende Museum’s Tea Dance series invites you to move\, mingle\, and unwind through the joyful rhythm of social dance. Hosted in the Glorya Kaufman Community Center\, each session features different dance traditions\, ranging from Argentine tango to vintage swing\, led by local artists and dance instructors. No experience or partner required.\n\nTea dances originated in early 20th-century Britain and America as daytime socials\, often held in hotels and ballrooms\, offering live music\, light refreshments\, and a welcoming space for community connection. Revived in the queer communities of mid-century America\, the tradition evolved into a vibrant celebration of expression and belonging\n\nIn that spirit\, our Sunday Tea Dances offer a space to unplug\, connect\, and move together. These afternoons are for everyone: curious beginners\, practiced dancers\, and people just looking to enjoy good music and warm company\n\nCome for the class\, stay for the social\, and rediscover the art of togetherness.\n\nFree and open to all. Comfortable shoes are encouraged.\n\n\nSchedule: \nSunday\, July 6\, 3-6 pm\, Oxygen Tango \nDiscover the global language of tango in this one-hour beginner class led by Oxygen Tango\, a beloved LA-based school known for its welcoming\, connection-driven approach. You’ll learn the essentials of this improvised social dance and be ready to join the informal practica that follows—no partner needed. Just bring comfortable clothes\, shoes you can walk backward in\, and a spirit of curiosity. \nSunday\, July 13\, 3-6 pm\, Beach Cities Swing Band \nThe Beach Cities Swing Band was founded in the year 2000 by members of the El Segundo Concert Band. It is a 17-piece Big Band with featured vocalists\, playing works made famous in the Big Band era by the likes of Count Basie\, Glenn Miller\, Duke Ellington\, Benny Goodman\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Artie Shaw\, along with more modern arrangements in the traditional swing styles\, and innovative new takes on famous songs.
