Swing Dancing originated in the 1920's in Harlem's Savoy Ballroom. From there, it spread across the US and around the world. It is one of the most popular forms of social dance. In this class we teach you East Coast Swing and Lindy moves that can be danced anywhere you find swing music: clubs, swing/lindy dance parties, ballroom dance parties and wedding receptions.

Out and About with Karen and Michael on New Years Eve

Come Swing with us to the Live Music of the Big Band "3 O'Clock Jump" on the USS Hornet in Alameda

Once a month, we look for great places to dance to live music in the Bay Area. On December 31st, we will be going to the USS Hornet to welcome in the New Year. This is a great place for singles too. They have a dedicated dance floor for those who like to rotate partners. There are 3 dance floors near the band. Come, bring your friends and practice your swing. Whether you dance the whole night away or relax and listen to some great music, this will be a fun evening. All ages welcome. See USS Hornet for more info.
