TSDS is your destination for community, connection, and a little bit of magic. We promote the joy of Swing dance and Swing music to the Triangle with fabulous events and enchanted evenings, reimagined.
Led by drummer, vocalist, and international swing dancer Jon Tigert, the Baltimore-based Corner Pocket Jazz Band brings the classic swinging sounds of the 1930s and '40s straight from the Lindy Hop songbook. Rounded out by some of the best guest artists around, this band plays music made by swing dancers, for swing dancers — celebrating the looser, more casual swing style of the era that fills dance floors with energy.
Their enthusiastic vibe and joyful sound have earned them a reputation as an awesome, local swing band that will have everyone dancing. Whether you're a seasoned Lindy Hopper or new to the dance floor, Corner Pocket Jazz Band delivers an authentic, high-energy set that captures the spirit of the golden age of swing.
Come to our dance party to learn about the music and dance of the swing era.
It is going to be a night of fantastic music that you aren't going to want to miss!
LESSONS

You’ll learn some history of the dance, basic footwork and rhythm, and current Swing dance culture so you can dance all night and make new friends.
