Swing Time Speakeasy
Swing Time Speakeasy
Wednesday Night
at Bossanova Ballroom
The Swing Time Speakeasy combines a classy environment with live music, swing dancing, live cabaret performance, a full bar, and lots of attractive well dressed dancers.
This will be the last Speakeasy of 2010! We had hoped to be at the Bossanova for more weeks into December, but due to other events in the main ballroom and noise conflicts, we will only be able to be there for this first Wednesday in December. Be sure and be there as we celebrate a marvelous run in 2010.
Susan and Russ will be teaching a Lindy Hop Swing Lesson at 7:00 for $10 which includes admission to the dance. Because we will only be at the Bossanova for one week in December, this will be the only class in December. We hope to plan a series on the subject some time later. This class will cover Lindy Hop fundamentals and essentials all levels are welcome to attend.

Can I still come after the dance lesson if I don’t want to dance? To watch others dance and watch the variety show?

Yes, there are also pool tables. Plenty to do for the non-dancing attendee.

Is this still continuing in 2011? I just read about this and it sounds like beyond a great time. I am crossing my fingers that this event is continuing.
