January Jitterbug Boogie 1/25

Join us for our fourth installment of Jitterbug Boogie, and our first Jitterbug Boogie event of the New Year! The past few dances have been such great successes we thought we would go for another round. We are playing the best music from the 30’s and 40’s, with the friendliest group of Swing Dancing Hep Cats. Hit up the Intro Lesson at 6:00 pm, and stay until 10:00 pm for socializing and open dancing. We are so fortunate to be able to utilize the fantastic floor in the Dick Eardley Center, which has tons of space for us all to get our groove on. This event is open to anyone regardless of previous experience, and no partner is required in order to attend. This event is Swing focused, but all dance style friendly. If you have a style of music you would like to hear at this event, don’t be afraid to make requests.

Jitterbug Boogie: Turkey Edition

Join us for our second night of Jitterbug Boogie, and our special after Thanksgiving Dance! The first time was such a success we thought we would go for another round. We are playing the best music from the 30’s and 40’s, with the friendliest group of Swing Dancing Hep Cats. Hit up the Intro Lesson at 6:00 pm, and stay until 10:00 pm for socializing and open dancing.

For years, we have been putting together a dance after Thanksgiving, and it has always been met with great success. This is a great opportunity for friends and family to come together, get out of the house, and do something active. Make sure to get their early, as this tends to be one of our biggest dances of the year.
