 Swinging on the Riviera one day,
And laying in a Bombay alley next day.
You let the wrong word slip
Through kissing persuasive lips,
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man! Secret Agent Man!
They’ve given you a number
And taken away your name!

 

Don’t miss the most swinging ball of PEERS’ season for those spies who live a life of danger. Secret agents, femme fatales, megalomaniac villains and innocent bystanders are all invited to this musical tribute to the Post-War Secret Agent.

Sara & Swingtime play a varied and always suspenseful evening of vintage ballroom dance music, hot Swing, and cool blues, including a few secret agent movie song classics. Dance East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop, waltzes, fox trots, tango, Latin dances, even the nightclub two-step.

Suggested costume is evening dress of the 1940’s though 60’s (from early Hitchcock to “The Avengers”) or modern evening dress, but day dress is also acceptable for you innocent bystander types who have just wandered into the adventure.  In deference to Mrs. Peel’s impeccable fashion sense, the ladies may choose to adopt either traditional evening dress or a trouser suit.

There will be a no host (cash) bar, a light snack buffet (even 00 operatives have to eat!). Your potluck contributions to the buffet are welcome), DJ dance music at intermission, and card tables for those preferring intellectual stimulation to dancing.  Will we continue our tradition of adding a mystery or puzzle to solve? That would be telling.

Be Seeing You!
