Hello lovelies,
We are suddenly in mega party mode over at the new Loft. Check it:
- Sat 2.25 - new and last minute dark dance & kink party! Circumstances have magically aligned to enable us to host a FREE Saturday night event, and we are here to deliver.
- Sat 3.4 - after a three-year pandemic pause, the big brass band bash is back! Trust us, you want to be in the room when 50 brass musicians hit at once. You've got till the end of this week to snag a ticket that includes a slice of King Cake, flown in directly from NoLa.
- Sat 3.18 - on the heels of the gorgeous Paris cabaret, another glamorous night of danceable vintage jazz, slinky burlesque and stunning variety. We highly recommend table reservations, as they are of course going first.
Cheers,
Gemini & Scorpio,
makers of themed costume events with live entertainment

A 1920s speakeasy cabaret party in a secret Brooklyn loft, with live swingin' sounds by vintage jazz bands, blazing burlesque divas, stunning variety acts, exotic cocktails, and the best electro-swing DJs remixing and reinventing vintage grooves late into the night. "Gatsby-era fun with a twist of new-school vibe" (The Village Voice).
The night starts with an introductory dance class for swing basics by Brooklyn Swings, who teach at our loft every Tuesday night. Live music until 1am, with burlesque & variety during and between band sets. Electro-swing remixed vintage beats after, until the dancing is done.
Dress code (required): The Jazz Age never ended, it just got funky. Dress accordingly: "An event worth wearing that ridiculous zoot suit for." - TimeOut NY; "Corsets and top hats tweaked with studs and leather are totally appropriate." - The New York Times. Suggestions: vintage (1920s-1940s) with a modern twist, cabaret, burlesque, Weimar Berlin, classic Hollywood, classy, sassy, tailored, hats, feathers, fringe, sequins, beads. Effort required; if in doubt, go more formal. Dress code more relaxed after 1am for the electro-swing dance party.
