The Manhattan Project National Historical Park will host a Tennis Court Dance in Oak Ridge on Thursday, July 21.

The dance is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Jackson Square tennis courts.

“Put on your dancing shoes!” a National Park Service press release said. “All ages are welcome to attend, and everyone is encouraged to participate. This free event will feature swing dancing music from the 1940s World War II era as well as more modern hits that span all age groups. The music will make you want to move your feet and get on the dance floor.”

Public parking will be available along Broadway Avenue near Kentucky Avenue and within the public parking in Jackson Square, the press release said.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
