Dear Swing City Patrons!
We're delighted to have "Eight to the Bar"
in the house this Friday at Huron Ave! Join us tonight
for one of New England's hottest Swing bands.
Coming up: the schedule is a little rocky this summer
due to holidays and other things booked at one or both
venues, so we do have a three week "summer vacation"
coming up prior to another string of great bands, "Fat
City Band" (at Huron Ave), "Rockin' George
Leh" (at the City Club), and the "City Rhythm
Orchestra" from Philadelphia (at Huron Ave).
Contest: we're trying to figure out what to
name the two different events. e.g. Swing City "Uptown/Downtown",
"Somerville/Cambridge", "Classic",
etc. We want to distinguish the venues so that people
don't get too confused. Send me your ideas and if we
use them we'll comp you some tickets.
This
Friday at the Swing City / Huron:
"Eight to the Bar"
Cynthia Lyons brings Eight to the Bar back to Swing
City this Friday, this week at Huron Ave, or original
home. Count on nothing less than a great night of Swing
dancing! Not only is ETTB always on fire, but
we're going to be at this great new building, constructed
at the site of Swing City's old VFW home for 10+ years.
Mike Jonas will be teaching the intermediate Swing
lesson this week and DJ'ing the breaks. Also, Karen
Leeds returns to teach the beginner class. Both are
at 7:45. Classes have been HUGE lately, so be sure to
come for those. Beginner and intermediate levels are
concurrent, so you can find a class that suits you and
still bring your friends who might be at a different
level. Plus, the classes are a GREAT way to meet people
if you're new to the scene.
Swing City at the City Club, the best weekly Swingin'
venue in town!
- Tons of free parking
- Ice Cold Air Conditioning
- Full Bar, ~$4 cocktails (City Club only)
- Great Floor (one patron was giddy with excitement
last week! thx)
- Easy "T" Access (City Club only)
7:30pm: Beginner and Intermediate
Swing Dance Lessons, no partner necessary.
9:00pm: Band goes on (DJ in the breaks)
until ~12:00am or when people leave
The great thing about the new intermediate lessons
program is that the bulk of our regular dancers will
be able to take a non-beginner class with our
rotation of Boston's top dance instructors, while still
being able to bring beginner friends for the intro lesson.
The intro class will be single step East Coast, while
the intermediate class will be taught in triple-step
and sometimes will include some Lindy and more. The
intermediate class will be different each week. Furthermore,
if either lesson is too hard or simple for you, one
can just switch to the other one as needed.
So please join us for lessons, a night of rich live
music, dancing, affordable cocktails (yes, $4!), lots
of cool fun people of all ages, and some great exercise.
Bottom line, a great night out for only $15 ($10 with
college ID), the cheapest cocktails in town, and a super
vibe! Read, "Boston's official Cheap Date."
