LindyGroove was established in the early 2000s and has grown to be the largest and most popular weekly swing dance event in Southern California (and probably the US). They operate once a week every Thursday night. Dancers of all skill levels come and dance from different places such as local colleges and Orange County.
Classes – There are two types of classes offered: Series classes and drop-in classes. Series classes are purchased as a whole for each month. The price depends on the number of Thursdays there are in a month so it may range from $60 – $75. There are two drop-in classes that start at 09:10 pm. One is their 6-count drop in which invites those that have almost no experience in swing dancing. The second drop-in class is Blues which currently is twice a month on the first and third Thursdays of the month. The blues lesson is all levels.
Dress code – Informal, but dressing up is optional. It is recommended bringing a towel and a few t-shirts if you sweat easily.
Music – Various DJs come in from around the country and locally.
Dance Floor – There are two dance floors: One for swing dancing in the main dance hall and a side room for Blues and Fusion.
Parking – It is highly recommended to find street parking (free after 06:00pm) along Cordova St and Euclid Ave. There are some parking garages and parking lots around the area but rates are unknown at this time.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, the parking garage across the street is off-limits, but check this page for the latest parking info.
Live Music – Live bands are hosted a few times a year. Please check the website for more information and updates.
Food – Food is not offered at this time and there is not a bar. Bottles of water are available for purchase to guests.Â
Venue description by Grant Wong
Don’t miss their special events, like their famous Haunted Halloween Ball:
Note, this is a hard-core swing dancing venue; there is no bar and no band to watch (except for special occasions). It’s all about dancing. Not a good place to bring non-dancer friends (unless they want to take the lessons, which are excellent). If you want to dance, Lindy Groove is a great place to be! – Brian
