Uptown Swing News

Uptown Swing DanceThe third dance in the Sunday Uptown Swing Summer Series is coming up on August 18. This month features a special DJ night with guest DJ Stan Yen sharing music selection with your hosts.

In case you are wondering what happened to Racky Thomas, he and his band have been postponed to September 21. A new date just added to the fall Uptown Swing schedule!

Ever hear of the Swing Stroll? It is the second Swing line dance (after the Jitterbug Stroll) choreographed by the fabulous Ryan Francois. This one is danced to Nina Simone’s My Baby Just Cares for Me. There will be a mini-lesson during the evening so that you can learn this fun and easy dance! If you already know the Swing Stroll, come out for this rare chance to strut your stuff:-)

Please note the earlier time for Sunday! Beginner Swing lesson starts at 6:45pm and dancing at 7:30pm.

Uptown Swing is held at KI, an awesome venue conveniently located on Harvard Street, just a few blocks from Coolidge Corner in Brookline. (Dance entrance on Williams Street.) There’s AC, a fabulous, huge wood floor, plus free street parking. Beginners are very welcome! You do not need to have a partner to attend. The music will be excellent for Lindy Hop, Swing, and Balboa. Bring your friends and introduce them to a fun night!
