NICKEL-A-DANCE is a free series of Sunday afternoon traditional jazz concerts started in 1994 that now take place each spring and fall season, and is a hit with children, families, seniors, and the general dancing public that don’t tend to go to night clubs.  It attracts a diverse group of fans that meet on Frenchmen Street to celebrate jazz as America’s original dance music while listening to the best of today’s classic jazz bands.  After several years at The Maison, beginning with the Fall 2025 series, Nickel-A-Dance has moved up the street to Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro, at 626 Frenchmen Street.  More information at https://www.nojc.org/nickel-a-dance [1] [1] https://www.nojc.org/nickel-a-dance
