Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!

Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!

6-7pm Intro to Swing

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

Dear Friend of Politics with a Punch, 

Join us on Monday November 11 for another unforgettable edition of Politics with a Punch, our local version of “Politically Incorrect.” It is a fast-paced, free-wheeling, no-holds barred discussion of what is happening in our city, state, and nation. We place a premium on having a fantastic time and expect plenty of laughs as we discuss the controversies and the outrageous antics of our local leaders and scoundrels.  

We launched Politics with a Punch in 2002 and have enjoyed 22 years of great times thanks to our awesome panelists and faithful patrons. This next event will be another incredibly special program as we celebrate our 157^th Show.  

It will be held at the beautiful Quarter View Restaurant, 613 Clearview Parkway, Metairie. This outstanding venue offers plenty of available parking, superb staff, and tremendous amenities for Punch patrons. Join us for this special program and enjoy another fabulous panel. 

The doors open at 6 p.m. for Punch Happy Hour as the bar at Quarter View Restaurant will offer a delicious menu of specialty drinks for our patrons. As an added treat, the restaurant will offer an outstanding menu of some of their favorite dishes for our patrons. After our event ends, we invite you to stay with us for cocktails and to socialize with our patrons and panelists. 

Our show will begin at 7:00 p.m. As usual, we have picked an outstanding panel with some of our favorite all-stars plus some exciting newcomers. Check out our exceptional line-up of celebrities for this LOUISIANA POLITICAL COMEDY TRADITION:

·   Tee Ray Bergeron; Comedian, Local Headliner, Punch Favorite

·         Captain Black; Crime Fighter, Local Grassroots Organizer

·         Mimi Crouere; Co-Host, He Said, She Said, WGSO Radio

·         Hon. Jeff Landry; Governor of Louisiana

·         Geary Mason; Financial Advisor; Monumental Task Committee

·         Vince Vance; NOLA Music Icon, LA Music Hall of Fame Member

On our star-studded show, we will cover many of the significant issues and controversies of the day in a lighthearted and humorous manner in our unique Politics with a Punch style. 

Along with other Great Topics, here are some of the issues we will discuss: Massive Red Wave Election--Trump Landslide; How Did it Happen? How Did Democrats Waste $1 Billion? What Should be the First Item on Trump’s Agenda? Will DOJ Lawfare Cases Against Trump Finally End? Where Do the Left-Wing Media and the Democrats Go Now? Some Democratic Women Abstaining and Shaving Their Heads; Celebrities are Threatening to Leave the Country; Please Leave! FEMA Director Ordered Workers to Ignore Houses with Trump Signs; Live Tiger Returns to Tiger Stadium; Good Idea? Governor Landry Pushing Tax Reform Package in Special Session; New Orleans Crime Rate is Much Lower in 2024; Why? The New Orleans Mayor’s Race Has Begun; Helena Moreno is Running, Who Else Will Jump In? Is New Orleans Ready to Host the 2025 Super Bowl? As usual, it will be Prime Time for Punch! 

With so much serious discussion, it is helpful on a bi-monthly basis to be able to have good-natured fun at some of the hilarious, ridiculous, and unpredictable events which occur in this state. Since 2002, I have been a part of a political tradition that has grown into quite a success story.  

In our 22 years of promoting good natured hilarity, we have featured some of the top political, business, comedic, media and entertainment talent in Louisiana. I am honored to host Politics with a Punch, an event which has attracted sell-out crowds for the past several years.   

Tickets are only $20.00 per person/$35.00 per couple. 

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please RSVP by sending me an e-mail reply. You can also purchase tickets in advance at a discounted price ($15.00 per person/$25.00 per couple) on-line at our website:

Mayor's Office of Nighttime Economy and Health Department Announce Developing Series of Free Narcan and Stop the Bleed Trainings for Hospitality Workers

NEW ORLEANS – The Mayor's Office of Nighttime Economy, in collaboration with the Health Department, is excited to announce a developing series of Narcan and Stop the Bleed trainings to equip hospitality workers with critical, life-saving skills. These free trainings will provide participants with the knowledge to respond effectively to overdose incidents and severe injuries, helping to make the nightlife community safer. To maximize accessibility, trainings will be scheduled in neighborhoods across the city.

Narcan training sessions will include free Narcan for all participants, while Stop the Bleed training will cover essential skills for managing bleeding emergencies. As an extra incentive to participate, The Broadside will offer free movie tickets to a screening at the Broad Theater for the first 15 attendees at each of their hosted sessions.

Upcoming Training Schedule

“Hospitality workers are on the front lines of our nightlife, and we’re committed to providing them with the resources they need to respond to emergencies,” said Julia Heath, Policy and Outreach Manager at the Mayor's Office of Nighttime Economy. “Through this training series, we’re empowering them with the essential skills and confidence needed to handle life-threatening situations.”

This week, we have a special tasting combining a Trust Your Importer and a Meet & Greet event in one! Importers, La Luz Selections, carefully curates wine from producers emphasizing authenticity, sustainability, and a strong sense of terroir. Their portfolio highlights winemakers who practice organic, biodynamic, or natural farming and winemaking methods, ensuring minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Their diverse portfolio tends to feature small-scale, artisanal European producers with an emphasis on Spain & Portugal.

Kerin Auth Bembry, founder of La Luz, has built a strong reputation as an expert in Spanish wines after spending extensive time in Spain and developing close relationships with winemakers across the country. Her deep knowledge of the regions and indigenous grape varieties has made her a champion of small, family-owned wineries that produce wines with a focus on terroir, sustainability, and tradition. Through her import business, she has helped bring a wide array of natural and organic Spanish and Portuguese wines to the American market that showcase the diverse styles of the regions.

We are excited to have Kerin join us for Friday Night Wine School, focusing on her imports from Spain and Portugal. We'll be tasting 5 unique and approachable wines, authentic representations of indigenous varieties and local traditions. We hope you'll join us! 4 spots remaining, go here for tickets: - La Luz Selections - Importer/Winemaker Tasting, Spain & Portugal with Kerin Auth Bembry

Super Bowl LIX may happen more than three weeks before Fat Tuesday, but the host committee wants to make sure the city -- and the throngs of visitors in town for the NFL's championship game -- get the carnival experience.

The day before the game, February 8, there will be a Mardi Gras-style parade complete with elaborate floats, marching bands, and throws.

Our partners at NOLA.com report details of the parade are still being finalized, but float-builder Barry Kern says it will likely be a 20-float parade made up of signature floats from various krewes.

And because it is not an official carnival parade, corporate sponsors will also be a part of it.

Todd Graves, founder of Baton Rouge-based Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, will serve as grand marshal.

Rather than follow one of the traditional Mardi Gras routes, the Super Bowl parade will line up on Elysian Fields in the Marigny, parade up Decatur Street along the French Quarter, then take Tchoupitoulas St. to Poydras, turn up to St. Charles Ave., then proceed along St. Charles to St. Joseph St. just before reaching Harmony Circle.
