Summer is certainly here and we hope that everyone is getting out and enjoying the weather. This time of year we often get distracted with other activities, but there is still plenty of fun dancing to be had in the Boston area! Check out the regular venues which continue to run through the summer and the special outdoor concerts and events that may bring some different opportunities to get your groove on:-)
Uptown Swing This Saturday
Speaking of getting out dancing, come on out to Uptown Swing this Saturday, July 16 at our beautiful venue, Brookline Tai Chi. This month we are excited to be welcoming back Baby Soda from NYC! The last time we got to dance to Baby Soda was at a Providence Swings dance in May. Everyone had a great time that night and now it is our turn at Uptown Swing! But there’s more! Not only do we get the fabulous Baby Soda, there will be a special performance from Joel Plys and Dominique which you won’t want to miss! BTC is conveniently located directly across from the Washington Square T stop on Beacon Street, has AC and one of Boston’s best floors for dancing, plus free street parking after 6:00pm. Beginners are very welcome and there is a lesson included at the beginning of the evening to get everyone started. You do not need to have a partner to attend. The music will be excellent for Lindy Hop, Swing, Balboa and even some Blues. Bring your friends and introduce them to a fun night of dancing! Uptown Swing Dance information.
