2025 Mermaid Parade
Social dance in the Mermaid Parade with The Findyhoppers with live music by the Small Dog Jazz Society. The New Orleans dance group Les ReBelles will be joining us this year as well!
11am
Things to know:
1) Our theme this year is Blizzard Prom! You (and anyone you bring with you) absolutely needs to wear some kind of costume. Creativity counts for way more than cost though, so think big and fun!
2) Everyone will need to register at https://www.coneyisland.com/mermaidparaderegistration. Our group number is GROUP-2025-53.
3) There is a $20 suggested donation, which will help with paying/tipping the band and other miscellaneous expenses (i.e. hardware for Big Blue, cups for water, etc… these seem small but they really do add up!)
4) Our main man-powered float, Big Blue, is reserved for the sound system and musicians’ cases this year. We will have one or two beach wagons for personal belongings, but please plan on packing very small and very light as space will be limited.

Summer for the City
Catherine Russell With The Danny Jonokuchi Big Band
When you take one of the greatest jazz vocalists of this generation and put her on stage with one of the world’s premiere big bands, you get a night you’ll never forget! Trumpeter and bandleader Danny Jonokuchi’s 17-piece band is one of the most popular dance ensembles on the jazz scene, conjuring up the height of Savoy Ballroom swing. GRAMMY winner and three-time nominee jazz vocalist Catherine Russell is a native New Yorker born into musical royalty. Her father, Luis Russell, was a legendary pianist, bandleader, and Louis Armstrong’s longtime music director. During this special night, Catherine Russell will perform historic Louis Armstrong big band arrangements, newly restored by Jonokuchi, in partnership with the Louis Armstrong House Museum. You’ll hear songs performed live for the first time since the 1940s! Arrive early for a warm-up DJ session and lesson from our dance instructor and you’ll be ready to swing out on The Dance Floor.

K-Swing Wave
The impact of swing dance has reverberated around the world. Few countries have taken to swing quite like South Korea, where the cultural bridge uniting the United States dates back to the ’90s. Swing culture has erupted today into a bona fide sensation, with multiple swing clubs open to all hours in Seoul and the nation’s leading swing dancers are regarded as heroes. Eight of Korea’s most talented artists have band together to form K-Swing Wave, the pinnacle of Korea’s swing movement. Curated by Caleb Teicher, one of New York’s finest Lindy Hop dancers and choreographers, K-Swing’s live show is a dynamic presentation of authentic jazz and Lindy Hop infused with Korean cultural influences through cutting-edge choreography and improvisation. Witness history in the making as the exceptional members of K-Swing Wave redefine the boundaries of tradition and innovation. Arrive early for a participatory dance lesson and you too will be jumping and jiving with the stars!
Eileen’s note: Caleb confirmed that it is a social dance with two 25-minute performances interspersed in the evening.

Summer for the City
Cait Jones
Jazz vocalist and swing dancer Cait Jones has captivated audiences worldwide with her “lovely voice, dead-on pitch, and subtle swing,” (Jazz Lives, Michael Steinman). For her headlining Summer for the City debut, Jones will be fronting her septet, with the musical direction of trombonist and bandleader, Mariel Bildsten. This will be the stateside premiere of some of Jones’ original music written with French composer Mathieu Najean from the pair’s first collaborative album, Outta the Blue with You (2023), a repertoire inspired by the great masters: Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Count Basie. The septet will also feature original arrangements of swing hits. Arrive early at The Dance Floor for a beginner’s swing lesson to pick up a few of the basic steps before the live music begins!
