Founded by Shien Lee, Dances of Vice began in New York in 2007 as a venue showcasing an exotic mélange of art, performance and music influenced by that special time in history, the 1920s and 30s. Since then, it has blossomed to include Victorian and Rococo themed events with a New Romantic flair, attracting a sordidly splendid menagerie of elegant dandies, aesthetes, dreamers and ne'er-do-wells who gather in shared enthusiasm for the music, fashion, culture, and beauty of times forgotten. Dances of Vice incorporates a myriad of magnificent influences of the past in Dadaistic celebration of the liberating effects of beauty, fantasy and surrealism.
The Salon has been producing unique events for more than ten years featuring live jazz, big band, burlesque dancing and artisan cocktails as well as art and performances of all kind. Inspired by the Parisian salons from the late 19th and early 20th century, composer and music producer Patrick Soluri begun hosting Salons in his apartment in 2001. Quickly outgrowing his apartment, THE SALON is now held at some of New York's top venues such as The Edison Ballroom, The Players Club and Galapagos Art Space, among others. Featuring some of the best musicians, artists and dancers in New York City, The Salon has gained a reputation as one of the best parties in New York specializing in multi-level live music and dance events, with multiple acts performing simoultaneaously, often ranging from 25-60 performers per event. The Salon pulls on average from 250 to 500+ guests per event -- from swing dancers to Loungers, to music aficionados, and everyone in between.
Premiering in February 2009, Wit's End is New York's monthly celebration of Jazz Age lifestyle, music, and aesthetics; and is brought to you by Diane Naegel and Don Spiro. We celebrate the elegance and flair of New York nightlife of days gone by with a vintage cocktail menu, free dance lesson, live hot jazz, and guests having a jaunty evening in their 1920s/30s best. Loungers, dancers, neo-flappers, vintage lovers, and nostalgia junkies combine to form a truly unique melange on the last Saturday of the month at Flute Bar- Midtown (formerly Texas Guinan's speakeasy, Club Intime).
The Champagne Riot serves up an intoxicating cocktail of Hot Jazz, Scintillating Burlesque and Vaudevillian Frivolity. This fizzy-buzzy party and performance event takes as its inspiration the early twentieth century's American spirit of rebellion and celebration. Each Riot features live music, old glamour burlesque, and a variety of vaudeville and circus performers. Cultivating an aesthetic of "vintage fantasy", The Champagne Riot combines elements both new and old to create an atmosphere that is at once both nostalgic and entirely novel. The Champagne Riot is produced by burlesque artist Miss Jezebel Express, jazz sweethearts Gelber & Manning, tap-dancing talent Gin Minsky, and that most elegant of emcees, Dandy Wellington.for more info contact
