Dear Swing City Patrons!
"Eight
to the Bar"
Saturday at Huron Ave
Cinco de Mayo is upon us, and we have no other than
Eight to the Bar this weekend for you! Get out your
straw hats, and load a cooler of Corona's in your trunk
(no beer inside, sorry!), and get it on with one of
New England's perenially most popular dance bands.
Ever wonder what the heck Cinco de Mayo actually is?
Some Mexican fiesta... Well, as it turns out, it's a
celebration of the defeat--against overwhelming odds--of
the French invasion of Mexico by none other than Napolean.
In an nutshell.... If it weren't for that, we'd be speaking
French right now. Well, at least out West! (Not that
we have anything agains the French.) In any case, it's
one of those interesting milestones in history where
things clearly would have turned out quite a bit differently
"if".
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 is taught at triple-step
levcl. 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.
