Dear Swing City Patrons,
PLEASE NOTE: we have swapped some dates around this
month and next to accomodate some of the other dances
in Boston who have been dealing with venue issues and
thus haven't always been able to get their "normal"
dates. Please bear with us.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR DATE CHANGES AND SPECIAL
EVENTS--we are open on these dates:
- Saturday, Oct. 20 (vs. would-be Friday, Oct.
19)
- Also note: on Friday, Nov. 16th a special edition
of Swing City will be held in conjuntion with Swingin'
New England at the Newton Marriott, featuring Compaq
Big Band with guest star Ed Sheer of the "Love
Dogs" on vocals.
"Rico
Barr " This Saturday
Swing City is excited for the return of the Rico Barr's
renowned dance band, who brought us a wonderful night
of dancing at Swing City earlier this year.
Join us this for another great night of dancing, lessons,
friends, and fun times!
Dance
lessons at Swing City
New to Swing Dancing or already an expert? No worries,
we've got something for everyone!
Join us for a beginner swing lesson, or if you're
a more experienced dancer, we offer a concurrent intermediate
class. Classes begin at 8pm promptly, so be sure to
arruve a few minutes early.
Classes have been HUGE lately, so be sure to come for
those. Beginner and intermediate levels are concurrent
so most of our regular dancers will be able to take
a non-beginner class with our rotation of some
of Boston's top dance instructors, yet still bring your
friends who might be more comfortable at a the intro
level. Moreover, the classes are a GREAT way to meet
people if you're new to the scene, single, or just feeling
social!
The intro class will be single step East Coast, while
the intermediate class generally assumes you can dance
a triple step and are comfortable with a variety of
basic moves. The intermediate class will be different
each week, selecting from styles that include Lindy,
Balboa, Charleston, and more, and sometimes features
guest instructors.
If either lesson is too hard or simple for you, one
can just switch to the other one as needed.
