This event is meant to be a daytime hang-out/dance for everyone!
There is ample parking in their two parking lots, and if you need an elevator they have one of those too!

You Don't Dance?
That's ok! You can take the beginner lesson, or just sit back and enjoy the music and dancing.

What is Swing Dancing?
Swing dancing is an umbrella term for a family of Black American dances that were done to swinging Jazz music. The Beginner Lesson will teach basic East Coast Swing, which is dance derived from Lindy Hop (the original Swing dance).

Babies on the Move!
Feel free to bring your family, we want kids to feel welcome to come and participate in what ways interest them, but parents are responsible for them.

Because parents may have infants and other kids in tow please keep an extra eye on where you're stepping! Likewise if you're dancing with (or around) someone who is baby-carrying, please be mindful and give them a wide berth (pun intended lol).

Payment Method
As this starts up we’re going to try something a little unconventional. At the door to dance you’ll find a QR code (for PayPal & Venmo). This means two things:

(1) it’s going to run on a pay-what-you-can model (suggested $15)
(2) It’s going to be done on the honor system
