"Hosting Swing and Lindy Hop Dancing in Boston since 1994"

Saturday, August 13 at Huron Ave:
"Compaq Big Band"
The power and energy of an authentic 21-piece big band is back! The Compaq Big Band has kept New England swingin' for 30 years, with 15 horns, terrific soloists, a cookin' rhythm section, and a great feature vocalist. These guys are NOT your grandfather's big band. A great mix of medium, slow, and up-tempo swing, with tunes that are just the right length, will keep you on the dance floor all night.

SWING LINE DANCING WORKSHOP
6-8pm
Free, by Free Dance Studio

BEGINNER LESSONS (8-9pm):
- Beginner (Intro Swing)

Dear Swing City Patrons,

"Compaq Big Band" this Saturday!

Please join us for this classic 20+ piece big band swing orchestra!

Also, we've got another FREE workshop from Free Dance Studio this week, which is their Swing Line Dancing Workshop . 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 $18 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!
