A clandestine French cabaret with sensuous live music, sultry burlesque and variety acts, followed by late-night dancing and lounging in our softly-lit loft. Our house band will be playing three full sets to swoon, sway and dance to, with deliciously naughty performances during and in between. Absinthe and other special libations at the bar. It's also our annual Birthday celebration: we turn 21 this year!

Featuring:

- Three sets of vintage danceable French gems straight out of the pre-war Parisian cabaret scene by Avalon Jazz Band
- Hosted by dashing & dangerous magician Eric Walton
- Mind-bending contortion by Allison Schieler
- Daring aerial by Brenna Bradbury & Lisa Natoli
- Risqué burlesque by Lydia Vengeance
- Nouvelle chanson to electro-swing dance mix by DJ Poodlecannon (Marc Nasdor)
- Free social dance class by Brooklyn Swings at 9:30pm
