- Beginner (Intro Swing)

Dear Swing City Patrons,

"Dan Gabel and the Abletones, Swing Combo" this Saturday!

If you're a regular at Swing City, you know we are pretty discerning when it comes to choosing bands to play for you. There are a lot of factors, but a great, swinging sound is one, and affordability is of course another.

Well, we are delighted to finally bring in Dan Gabel and the Abletones, Swing Combo, which is their swing dancing oriented subset of the acclaimed orchestra. Many regulars have requested them and we're delighted to finally be able to bring them to Swing City. We figure they'll fit right in! Please join us for their debut.

Also, we've got another FREE Lindy Boot Camp from Free Dance Studio this week, 6-8pm. RSVP here: details

Just a reminder, please bring friends to Swing City! It's not only great fun for all to meet new people, but vital to not just Swing City, but the whole Boston/New England swing dance scene. The "word of mouth" approach from our regular and occasional dancers is by far the most effective way to get the word out.

Cover this week is $17 at the door ($4 off with current/valid student ID)

And as usual, Mike's "famous" free, fresh, hot popcorn.

Hope to see you there!
