    MezzJelly.com - Pittsburgh's Swing dance community has moved.

  Go to MezzJelly.com for the latest Pittsburgh news and Event Calendar.

  This orginal geocities site is for archive only. Also, we like to laugh at this funny-looking kid in the picture to the right. Feel free to stay here and do the same, but then join the brand new website at MezzJelly.com.
Donuts? For the last time, I'm not the donut boy!!!

    Can't wait for the MJForums to return? Your friendly MJAdmins have set up a temporary hold-over location for you Mezzheads who just can't hang in there!

    This is just for Mezzheads, and in fact you will have the oppurtunity to help voice in how the brand new forums for the world-wide BalboaNation.com will appear!

    Follow the link through the picture to the right, to your spot to shoot the breeze Pittsburgh style, while helping the newest (and still very rough) MJ project roll out smoothly.
Temporary Forum has now been Closed to the Public

    So you're bummed that 'the Man' by the name of ezBoard has locked down on your craziness on the MJForums? We won't be down for long (at most we're looking at a week to clear up the issue), but in the meantime you can spread your insanity through the MJMailing List to hold you over - just send a letter to [email protected], or if you experience any trouble with that drop us a note and we'll fix you up good.
    If just nothing can replace that ol' bulliten board feel, get your mezz on at ClevelandSwing.org in the going through withdrawal thread! Our apoligies for the inconvenience of losing out on your normal selection of Pittsburgh insanity this morning...

    Based in Pittsburgh, PA, the non-profit organization of dancers, musicians, and volunteers are from a variety of locations throughout Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
    Dedicated to helping the hep get hep-er, turnin' squares into alligators, and having one barrel- house mezz of a time, MezzJelly works to educate with, for, and about the music's effect on the dancer, and the dancer's effect on the music of Jazz, Blues, Swing, Ragtime, Harlem, slave era dances & more.
    MezzJelly also handles special events of dance and/or music, band bookings and event publicity in the Pittsburgh and nearby areas through its team of dancers and musicians dedicated to the enjoyment of both together.

Supporting Local Jazz Radio
 
The MezzJelly Organization is a proud Member of the one and only jazz-dedicated station in the Pittsburgh area, WDUQ at 90.5 FM. In fact, the station is one of only 12 in the country that is labeled a jazz-only music channel.

    MezzJelly is delighted to know that Pittsburgh people have been supportive of such a rare gift as this music is, and indeed with their help DUQ radio has been able to continue giving this gift for over 50 years! But, as a public radio service, they are in need of your assistance. If you support the music of jazz, and wish to recognize the special oppurtunity presented to you by having one of the only jazz station in the country in your city, MezzJelly encourages you, if able, to support public jazz radio in Pittsburgh by going to www.WDUQ.org and read more about their current need for funding - all of which comes through contributions from music appreciators like you. Or call (412) 396-2000, or click above to pledge directly, securely.
    If none of these options are for you at this time, MezzJelly encourages you to show your support through listening to the amazing sounds available to you at 90.5 FM.

Swing on, swing brothers and sisters, swing on,
