Dear Swing City Patrons,

Thanks to all that made it to the Holiday Dance last week! We had a great time all around. Happy Holidays to those who didn't make it, and of course again to those that did.!

"Tom Nutile Big Band" this Saturday

The Tom Nutile Big Band has become a huge draw at Swing City over the past year, and we're delighted to have them back this week. Be sure to join us!

Cover is $16 as usual, and includes the 8-9pm lessona as well as Mike's popcorn and cotton candy.

Hope to see you there!

This week's Lindy Workshop:
"Dance All The Way!" with Katie and Paolo

Turns and spins appear in many of our Lindy Hop patterns and styling. Free spins, outside turns, pop turns, lock turns - you name it! While many dancers get through them, turns can feel even better (and be more fun!) when executed with good rhythm, control, and musicality. This workshop we will help you feel more comfortable turning and spinning in your solo jazz and partnered Lindy Hop. We will go over the elements of good spinning technique as well as the lead/follow for turning moves.

What: "Dance All The Way!"
When: Saturday, December 13th from 6pm-8pm
Where: West Cambridge Youth Center (Swing City)
Price: $20 per person at the door

Please let us know you're coming!

Katie and Paolo's workshops are held at Huron Ave on most Swing City Saturdays this Fall and hopefully continue from there. They are from 6-8pm and cost $20, and be sure to stick around for the music and dancing at Swing City with Paolo and Katie in the house from 9pm on.

Workshop attendees receive a discounted cover charge for Swing City: $10 regular, $8 for students.

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.
