Midtown Stomp · Learn to Swing Dance
Live bands, great DJs, a floor full of friendly dancers and a class at 8 to get you started
8 pm
Every Friday at 8 pm we teach swing from the very first step, so any Friday can be your first, and the class is included with dance admission. No experience or partner needed.
We rotate partners so you can meet people as you learn. If you come with someone and prefer to stay together, that’s fine too.

9 pm
At 9 pm the social dancing starts: great music, a full floor and new friends to dance with. Try out what you just learned, or watch the best dancers in the room light it up.
Bring a date, bring friends or come on your own. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in.
Some Fridays
Horns, a rhythm section and a floor full of dancers. When a swing band takes the stage, the whole room feels it.

Lindy Hop is the original swing dance, often called the Jitterbug, born in Harlem in the late 1920s and 30s. It’s joyful, it’s social, and it’s made for live music. See where it comes from in This Is Lindy Hop.
Our series classes teach it with a group over a few weeks; start with Lindy Hop 1. Take any Lindy class on a Friday and stay for the dance, all for $25.
