One Saturday a month, Steve Sayer hosts his popular Swingin’ Soul Nights featuring a lesson and DJ’d Soul music, but many Lindy Hoppers show up.

Most evening events are $20 or $15 for members. You can become a member by paying the membership fee ($35 as of this writing) at the door.

The Woody James 16-Piece Big Band plays most Friday afternoons from 1 to 3 PM. Cover is $10. Note, the afternoon performances don’t have a huge number of dancers; these are more for listening. Bring your own partner if you go to an afternoon performance and want to dance!

The venue also has a full bar. Evening dances are 21 and over, but we’ve never been carded.

Maybe special events with a notable band are good for dancing, but the Friday afternoon slot, despite a nice band, don’t seem to have many people around, much less people interested in dancing. If you want a cheap opportunity to hear a good big band and just continue to absorb swing-era musical style (which is something crucial for dancers!), it’s definitely a great option. But I’m not sure I’d say the crowd is “hard core swing dancers.”
