Teens and senior citizens come together at swing dance!

Staff Reports

Walnut– Join us as we swing the night away! Students from the Walnut High School Jazz Band will usher in the distinctive sounds of 1930-40’s swing-era music during a dinner and dance on April 22. Members of the school’s Swing Club will provide instruction, comradery, and entertainment with local senior citizens!

Walnut High English teacher Jennifer Maletz came up with the idea for the multi-generational social event as a way to create a sense of connection, joy, and understanding through dance. About 40 students and 100 seniors are expected to come together for this new event!

The dinner and dance will take place at the Walnut Senior Center, located at 21215 La Puente Road. The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 for members and $12 for non-members. Please call the Walnut Senior Center at (909) 598-6200.
