The West Baton Rouge Museum will host a 1940’s style USO Dance on Sunday, January 23 from 3 – 5 PM with a patriotic flair in celebration of the opening of the exhibit, Pelican State Goes to War on loan from the National World War II Museum. Visitors are welcome but not required to come in military attire or period dress. Step back in time for a lively celebration complete with swing dancing, special tours of the exhibit, and a musical act that has wowed audiences across the globe.
Enjoy sets performed by the Victory Belles, a vocal trio singing the music of the era. Their spirited performances feature dazzling costumes, choreography, audience interaction, and WWII era musical hits that are sung in three-part harmony. The music of the 1940s brought hope and joy to our GIs and those on the Home Front alike, and the Victory Belles keep that tradition alive today.
This program is FREE and open to the public.
