The festivities will begin at 6:30 pm with an open dance lesson from instructors from Arthur Murray Dance Studios of Bloomfield. Concert-goers will get the chance to learn the waltz, the single-swing, the lindy swing, the fox-trot and more. Then, starting at 7:30, Carolyn Kuan will lead the HSO in waltzes, including Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” from The Nutcracker and “Waltz” from Swan Lake, and Johann Strauss’ On the Beautiful Blue Danube; swing music, including Glenn Miller’s In The Mood and Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing; and fox trots, including Cole Porter’s I’ve Got You Under My Skin. (Additionally, there will be an opportunity to request encores at the end of the night through a live audience poll on facebook.)
Throughout the concert, audiences will be invited to join the Arthur Murray dancers out on two large dance floors on the field for a night of dancing under the stars.
