Join us for a jam!!! 🕺🎶

We'll see you Thursday, July 9th from 6:30-8pm at Blue Jay Cafe for this FREE event! 🌟

This tap jam is an opportunity for our summer intensive students to practice their improvisational skills with live music! Although the boards will be prioritized to our students and company members, everyone should bring their shoes! We want to invite our whole community to come hang out, eat, jam, and see what we've been working on in the studio! 💪❤️

No tickets are required for this event, but RSVP at the link below to let us know you're coming!

Some say Rent Party is surf punk, others say they're lo fi indie rock. They call themselves your favorite feminist garage folk trio: bass, guitar, drums, vocals, original songs and multilingual covers.

We'll play our surfiest songs while you gaze at the lake and enjoy your hot dog or any other beach treat Blue Jay Cafe has to offer.

Wednesday July 15, 6-7 PM, free, all ages.
