PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The Paducah Jazz Ensemble will host its popular Valentine's-themed annual ballroom dance on Saturday, February 9, from 8-10:30 p.m. at the Robert Cherry Civic Center at 2701 Park Avenue in Paducah, Kentucky.

Organizers say live dance music will be provided by the celebrated Paducah Jazz Ensemble and will include a mix of cha-cha, rumba, salsa, swing, two-step, waltz, tango and more. Veteran saxophonist Eric Allen directs the big band.

"Our big band plays a wide variety of of big band jazz standards and other songs that are suitable for seasoned dancers or those just starting out," says Allen. "We always have such a great time and are glad to be able to provide a non-competitive ballroom dance event for folks who enjoy recreational dancing."

Sweetheart Dance tickets are $10 per person with advance reservations and $15 at the door. (Cash or check only). Space is limited, so advance reservations are strongly recommended.
