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

Saturday, April 23 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.

LINDY HOP BOOT CAMP this week
6-8pm
Free, by Free Dance Studio

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

Dear Swing City Patrons,

In this day of social media, having online reviews are important to getting listed more prominently on seach engines and other internet outlets. We have frightfully few of them! If you enjoy Swing City and have a few moments to share your opinions with the general public, we'd be most grateful. (Thanks to those that put some reviews up already!) Here are two links:

Thanks!

"Compaq Big Band" this Saturday!

Compaq is in da house this Saturday, need we say more?! This band is a dance sensation, hands down.

Don't forget the free Lindy Bootcamp from 6-8 (details), which has been VERY popular, so come meet some new people, and dance the night away.

Also, 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 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!
