There's not space here to list all her accomplishments as a movie star, West End musical theatre performer, writer, festival organiser... (her autobiography 'Weren't Born A Man' would be a great place to start...) just be sure not to miss this opportunity to hear Dana doing what she does best - singing the Blues.   Dana and Dino know a thing or two about keeping the dance floor full, so don't think you can get away with standing still and soaking up the atmosphere. You won't have a choice - just follow your feet! To get you in the mood, there's a jive lesson for beginners at the start of the evening.
