Dear Swing City Patrons,

New Schedule for 2014

We are extremely excited to announce that Swing City is migrating to a new schedule starting this winter! You may have heard of the changes that are ocurring with BSDN's monthly dances, and with Roger's graces we will now be able to host Swing City on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Saturday of each month, with occasional other special events.

After taking a good look at our records, it became clear that the Saturday night dances are far more popular. Thus we are delighted we can offer more of them. Swing City will no longer be open on Fridays once we make the transition.

Note that there will be a a couple of "irregular" dates in November and December as we transition. We will however take extra care to point these out.

In the meantime...

"Tom Nutile Big Band" returns this Friday!

This will be the 2nd gig for this great band at Swing City this year. Please join us for what will be a great evening of live music, great dancing, great people to meet, dance lessons, and of course fantastic exercise. Oh, and free, fresh, hot popcorn!

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 is different each week, generally Charleston. We sometimes features guest instructors.

If either lesson is too hard or simple for you, one can just switch to the other one as needed.

Swing City, the best weekly Swingin' venue in town!

- Tons of free parking
- Ice Cold Air Conditioning
- Juice, Soda, and Water available, plus snacks
- Great, New, Sprung Bamboo Floor (one patron was memorably giddy with excitement! thx)
- Easy MBTA Access (bus #72 direct from Havard Square)

8:00pm: Beginner and Intermediate Swing Dance Lessons, no partner necessary.
9:00pm: Band goes on (DJ in the breaks)
until 12:00pm

So please join us for lessons, a night of rich live music, dancing, lots of cool fun people of all ages, and some great exercise. Bottom line, a great night out for only $16 ($12 with college ID), and a super vibe! Read, "Boston's official Cheap Date."
