On May 19th the Ballroom of Huntington was invited by Peter Mazzeo and The Hit Squad to perform the Lindy Hop during their set at the 10th Annual Long Island Comedy Festival.

Mazzeo and The Hit Squad played hits from all different styles and eras of music, culminating with a big band medley fetauring Take the A Train, In the Mood and finishing up with Jump, Jive and Wail.

After the band transitioned to In the Mood, The Ballroom of Huntington Dancers, organized and led by Dance Director Charlie Wood, came down the ramp and took the stage to accompany Mazzeo and The Hit Squad.

4 couples in different positions around the stage danced high energy steps, including lifts and aerials, to the delight of the Long Island crowd. The entire performance ended with a standing ovation by all those in attendance.
