Sept. 11th – Boise City Swing 2021

Welcome to the 7th annual Boise City Swing, Boise’s largest vintage Swing dance festival! This year BCS is a whole day of live music, Swing dance workshop and all social dancing. All skill levels are welcome, and no partner is required in order to attend. If you love the sounds of the 30’s and 40’s you are going to love Boise City Swing!

Due to scheduling BCS being so touch and go, we have decided to slim down this years event. We appreciate everyone being so patient, especially everyone who purchased Early bird tickets for our 2020 event that we unfortunately had to cancel.

If you purchased an Early Bird Pass for 2020 this years event is free. Also 2020 passes will be good for 2022 BCS when we have are able to put on a full scale event 3 day event.

This year the focus of BCS is to rebuild the Swing dance community by making this event affordable and approachable. If you have never been to Boise City Swing this is the perfect year to try it out.

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.

For years, we have been putting together a dance after Thanksgiving, and it has always been met with great success.
