LIVE TANZ BAR mit Monsieur Pompadour

The LiveTanzBar is a live band social organized by the Dresden Hepcats at the Parkhotel auf dem Weißen Hirsch. Regional swing bands perform here once a month. The spectrum ranges from big bands (e.g. NTSO) to small but fine jazz combos (e.g. Blue Alley Jazz Band).

The LiveTanzBar shines not only because of the experience of live swing music in a ballroom atmosphere, but also because of its high profile in the Dresden swing dance community, so the evening is always a good opportunity to meet swing dancers, get to know them and of course to DANCE!

Before the live band starts, our dance instructors will show you a few swing dance basics from 8 p.m., making the evening perfect for newcomers or course beginners to get a taste of the swing dance experience.

Monsieur Pompadour

In the summer of 2014, the French bohemian Monsieur Pompadour came to Berlin. The illustrious circle of his glittering parties included a Belgian singer, a Hungarian violinist, an extremely taciturn bassist and an aristocratic guitar virtuoso. They formed a band and have been convincing ever since with a very special mixture of cheerful swing, ambitious wildness and a pinch of melancholy. Songs, chansons and songs about life and love, sung in four voices and interpreted in the style of their idols Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Monsieur Pompadour gave them the honor of his melodious name for their debut and then disappeared as a stowaway on a luxury liner.
