the pittsburgh lindy exchange

November 16 to 18, 2007 in Pittsburgh, PA

Dances

Dances will be held Friday evening through Sunday evening with 5 terrific bands and a variety of experienced DJs.

Bands currently booked:

Cangelosi Cards

Huge up-and-comers on the swing dance circuit, hailing from New York City. They feature a great old-time feel, with emphasis on strings, and a singer that will knock your socks off. They swing HARD, and we worked hard to get them for you this year.

Rick Matt Project

A frequent member of the PittStop lineup, this Pittsburgh band always plays a great lineup of swinging jazz. This band is the favorite of a number of our dancers.

Sweaty Betty Blues Band

You probably heard this Pittsburgh band at a late night at PittStop 6. A huge success, they blew everybody away. Only the DJ's in the alternative room rued their existence, since the dancers only wanted Sweaty Betty.

Jimmy Sapienza's Five Guys Named Moe

5 Guys Named Moe is one of Pittsburgh's mainstay swing bands, and feature a classic swing sound reminiscent of Sinatra, Louis Jordan, and Louie Prima. The addition of "Steeltown Sax Sensation" Kenny Blake for PittStop makes them all the more interesting. This combo was a great hit last year.

Boilermaker Jazz Band

We're sure you've heard of them. They're in huge demand all along the East Coast, but based in Pittsburgh. You'll love their sound at PittStop, where they'll have a few new surprises and extended Boilermaker band members up their sleeves.

Venues

We've scoured the city to find venues with ambiance out the wazoo, and with knee- and foot-friendly hardwood floors.

Palisades

Features a huge ballroom with one of the best hardwood around.

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall

Brand new addition to PittStop. Ambiance is grandiose and elegant. Features a beautiful hardwood floor, with a hardwood balcony to watch or dance from above. Centrally located, so nobody will get lost. Movie buffs should note that Anthony Hopkins was filmed in a cage here for Silence of the Lambs.

Wightman Community Center

Our tried and true dance venue. Features a nice and springy hardwood floor in a converted high-school auditorium. Centrally located so nobody will get lost.

Edgewood Club

A picturesque country style ballroom. Features large and fast hardwood floor. Windows all around let in the sunlight to help you wake up on Sunday afternoon. This venue is always a hit with the dancers.

Bulgarian-Macedonian Cultural Center (BMCC)

A beautiful hall with a nice hardwood floor. Has a communal meeting space and a small Bulgarian heritage museum for chatting and relaxing.

The countdown to PittStop 7 has begun!
