Featuring:
- Beginner (Intro Swing)

(see below for more details about the lessons)

Dear Swing City Patrons,

"Tom Nutile Big Band" this Saturday for the Holiday Dance and Potluck

A first in more recent Swing City history, we are hosting our Holiday Dance Party and Potluck! Join us for some great holiday cheer with Tom Nutile Big Band's fantastic sound, lessons, great dancing, and a special reading of Dr. Suess' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" at the first band break by the masterfully entertaining Rob Glover. If you've never seen Rob get on stage, trust me, it'll be worth showing up for this alone.

So join us this Saturday for our final dance of 2013!

...and, mark your calendars: in 2014 we are changing to the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Saturday of each month, kicking off with Eight to the Bar on Jan. 11 and the Love Dogs on Jan. 25. Stay tuned as we fill in the schedule thereafter.

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.
