Light snacks provided. There is a coat room.
All ages welcome. No partner or dance experience required.
Please wear non-marking shoes. Dress to express yourself! Casual is fine; dressing up is also great.
For weather and other scheduling alerts see the Event Calendar; we rarely cancel a swing dance due to weather.
Our dances focus mostly on what is generally called six-count swing, not heavily oriented towards lindy-swing.
Our bands generally also play a few dance numbers each evening in other couples-dance styles; cha-cha-cha, waltz, ballads, rumba, and etcetera.
Volunteers welcome.
This swing series is sponsored by Snowhawk Productions, a member group of the Boulder Dance Coalition.
