We host a 90-minute practice session to provide practice time for students after our Tuesday classes, as well as for students taking classes during other days of the week.  We also welcome and encourage those who are just looking for a reason to get out and dance and socialize with our community.  The Practice Session is FREE to those taking classes, or $5 for those not taking a class.

For the first 45-minutes, uur DJs structure their playlists to accommodate the music needs of beginners and the music genres appropriate for the lessons being taught.  Tempos may be faster and non-traditional "swing" music may be introduced in the last 45-minutes of the practice session to provide a challenge and add variety.

We welcome feedback on music, and we're always looking for guest DJs or those who would like to DJ a regular spot.  Please email us if you're interested at contact@vermontswings.com

Joe’s Big Band is an 18-piece ensemble of musicians who have performed for many years throughout northwestern Vermont, at weddings, dances, schools, and community events. We recently completed a six-year stint playing weekly dinner cruises on the Spirit of Ethan Allen III on the Burlington, VT waterfront. Our repertoire spans from swing and jazz standards made famous by artists like Count Basie, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington, to the music of Earth, Wind and Fire, James Brown, Santana, and other contemporary artists.
