Theresa Scavarda has been a dancer favorite for years, appearing as guest vocalist with past festival bands, where each time she'd sing, the floor would fill up with dancers.  Now she heads up her own band, an ensemble hailing from Orlando-way called Hot Jazz Pie!  Hot Jazz Pie is Theresa Scavarda on vocals, Paul Scavarda on every stringed instrument imaginable (guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin, etc), John Orsini on Sax & Clarinet, Cody Henry on Trombone, Steve Pikal on bass, and Richard Maley on drums.  Individually, these enormously talented musicians have professional resumes that would make your head spin, taking them from Disney to Cirque du Soleil to Carnegie Hall, from Branson to Atlantic City to Montreux to Tokyo.  But put them together and you get a recipe for fun, a recipe for dancing, a recipe for...Hot Jazz Pie!

Gulfport Casino is one of the world's best ballrooms, offering up social dance excitement in a picturesque beachfront setting.  The Gulfport Casino Swing Night is one of the top swing dances in the U.S.A., attracting hundreds of dancers every Wednesday!  The Gulfport Casino Ballroom is located in the St. Petersburg, Florida area at 5500 Shore Blvd. S., Gulfport, FL 33707.
