On Thursdays through September 29th, dance, sing, and swing at Dumbo’s “Live at the Archway” series. Head to Brooklyn underneath the Manhattan Bridge for a weekly cabaret with free outdoor musical performances, dj sets, dance classes, and more.

These performance reflect DUMBO’s creative spirit and Brooklyn’s diverse culture and encompasses a broad range of musical genres including salsa, R&B, jazz, and classic rock, and some of today’s emerging indie bands like TIGUE on July 28.

One half new music ensemble, one half art-rock band, TIGUE has influences that span eclectic contemporary, pop and avant-garde.

On August 6th check out Madame T and the Star Lights as they deliver sizzling summer swing and a journey of high camp performance that will make you want to dance and swoon! Madame T will also be combining projections, dance, and performance art into the show curated specifically for the Archway. 

Also, try out the half-hour dance classes, which begin at 6 pm and are followed by an hour of social dancing. Sessions include swing and lindy hop with the Harlem Swing Dance Society on August 11 and a tango class on August 25.
