📣📣Calling all lindy hoppers, balboa-heads, Charleston nuts, and shag enthusiasts! Come on out to Portland's longest-running swing dance, bringing you fantastic live jazz music on Norse Hall's magnificent floor.
The high-powered swing ensemble the Hot Lovin' Jazz Babies will be performing this week at our weekly LIVE music dance party. ​ The band strives to resurrect the spirit of late 1930's small band ensembles such as Fats Waller & his Rhythm, Teddy Wilson and his Orchestra, and Billy Holiday and her Orchestra. ​ The music will be hot, so come ready to swing the night away!
​
Our Foundations Lesson is an hour-long beginner lesson from 6:45PM-7:45PM (and is included with the dance cover!). ​ The lesson is great for folks who are new to dancing, curious about dancing, or just love dancing! ​ Topics will lean more towards Lindy Hop or Charleston depending on the band playing each Thursday night. ​
Swing Foundations Lesson (Included w/Purchase of Dance)
