Join us in the beautiful Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park to dance the night away to Keenan McKenzie and the Riffers and jump into the Newcomer Mix and Match Contest if you are just beginning to dip your toe into dance competition!
From 8:00 pm-9:00 pm we'll have an introductory swing dance lesson to get you all the basics you need (no partner or experience required). Then from 9:00 pm-midnight dance the night away to this swinging band! Admission is $30 ($20 if you register in advance) and covers the drop-in class and the dance. Be sure to bring your proof of vaccination!
The Newcomer Mix and Match Contest will take place during the two band breaks and is any swing goes. Enter as an individual and get mixed and matched with various partners while sharing your dance with the community. You could win admission to a 6-week class series at New Columbia Swing! If you are not competing, cheer your friends on and lend your support to our newcomers!
