Bentonville, grab your bobby socks and slick back your hair! On Friday, May 15, 2026, Crystal Bridges Museum is traveling back in time for an evening of vintage fun: Greased & Glam Swing Night.
This is your chance to trade the modern museum experience for the raw energy and style of the 1950s, all set within the magnificent architecture of the Great Hall.
A Night of Retro Style and Movement
The centerpiece of the evening is the massive dance floor, where classic swing rhythms and throwback hits will transport you to a different era. This event is designed for everyone—from seasoned jitterbugs to those with two left feet!
The night features:
Beginner-Friendly Swing Lesson: Kick off the party at 7:00 PM with a guided lesson. You'll learn the essential steps to navigate the floor with confidence.
Throwback Rhythms: A live band will deliver authentic, high-energy swing and rockabilly numbers, keeping the party moving all night.
Retro Flair: While not mandatory, attendees are strongly encouraged to "go retro." Think circle skirts, high-waisted trousers, classic cardigans, and grease in your hair!
