SUZANNE CHESSLER

Special to the Jewish News

'ninah Stein, a swing dancer
who has performed on Good
Morning America and at New
York's Lincoln Center, invites an
entire audience to join her for some
vintage footwork at the Meadow
Brook Music Festival.
While the stage holds the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra and the touring
popular swing band Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy, an area off to the side will
accommodate any fan able to do the
steps made popular in the 1940s and
revived in the 1990s.
The program literally gets off the
ground at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6,
and includes all-time favorites —
with swing arrangements — by Duke
Ellington and Cole Porter as well as
numbers made popular by the best-
known swing bands that introduced
and performed that style.
"Going to a swing concert and not
being able to dance is torture for
me," says Stein, 35, who convinced

1p

DSO administration to allow the
dancing after she learned about the
event. "This music was created for
dancing, and I'm so excited that we'll
be able to be part of it."
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, promoting
the swing revival, appeared in the
1996 film Swingers and went from
being a Los Angeles group to an
international phenomenon. Their
hits have included new arrangements
of "Minnie the Moocher," "Mambo
Swing," "You Know You Wrong" and
"Save My Soul."
As the band plays at Meadow Brook,
the event will be considered in part a
swing dance reunion for those who
regularly took the floor at Pontiac's for-
mer Velvet Lounge, the top area swing
club in the 1990s. Dancers are urged
to come in vintage clothing.
"Whenever members of Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy come to a concert,
it's incredibly exciting," says Stein,

who is not being remunerated for
advancing this event. "They are just
terrific and really set the mood for
dancing."
