What is the SPIEGELTENT? The original Spiegeltents (“Tents of Mirrors”) were constructed in Flanders, Belgium in the late 19th century as mobile dance halls. They were transported around the country and assembled for town fairs in areas that did not have dance halls. Bard Summerscape has partnered with Got2Lindy for years to bring you Summertime Swing, the most exciting dance event of the year in Bard’s very own Spiegeltent.
Event includes a swing dance lesson, performance by Chester’s Cool Cats & Kittens and an evening of dancing to the fabulous Danny Lipsitz and the Brass Tacks in a magical setting.
