Dear Swing City Patrons,

Did you catch Barry Fleischer and his Radio Swing Orchestra last week? It was a new band for Swing City and we got some great feedback. Lots of lively dancing music.We'll have them back this summer with even better sets, so please mark you calendars (Aug. 9).

Racky Thomas Band this Saturday

Racky's back in town! Racky Thomas Band is another band from the old "A" list that we lost touch with, and we're bringing him back this week finally! Join us for a jumpin' night for sure!

And as usual, Mike's "famous" free, fresh, hot popcorn and cotton candy. Check it out.

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.
