Testimonial
“My husband and I attended the Liberty Aviation Museum dance last year and we can't wait to go again this year. We have been taking swing dance lessons to get ready. The DZO was absolutely wonderful and we loved the singer. It was a really magical evening. Highly recommend them. ” - Jenny Delaney, Cleveland
“We wanted our wedding reception to feel elegant. I grew up listening to my mom and dad playing big band music, so it holds a special place in my heart. Plus, my friends are all swing dancers. The Dan Zola Orchestra was a perfect fit for everybody. ” - Rachel Franks, Cleveland
“Thank you for providing the perfect music to get everyone at our fundraiser up on the dance floor. It certainly put everyone in just the right mood to buy all of our raffle tickets, coin cards and silent auction packages. And thanks for donating your Zola CDs. We raised far more for our organization than we ever expected. ” - Richard R. Jenkins, Cleveland
