There is no need to book in advance, simply show up at the door and you will be welcome. Most of those who come are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, some older, some under 20.

Lindy Hop is the most popular swing dance in the world today and also the most popular swing dance of the Swing Era.

*Full-time student price/discount: $3 off the regular price for Saturday nights.  Must show a valid current student card.
