2nd & 4th Saturday Swing Dances
Featuring live music & talented DJ’s twice a month!
Why dance to the same old canned tunes when you can enjoy swing music the way it was meant to be… LIVE!
An Orlando favorite since 2002! Grab your friends and family and come out and cut a rug at our twice-a-month Saturday dance! We’ll be playing the best in live swing and big band for your dancing enjoyment. From slow tempos to fast, there is something for everyone. Food and drink are available on donation basis. This is a family friendly event in a smoke and alcohol free environment. It offers tons of energy in a social atmosphere!
Looking to get started with swing dancing? This is your chance! This dance features a beginner swing dance class (included with admission) from 7 to 8pm that covers all the essentials from footwork to basic turns.
Live music: Come out and dance to some of the best live swing and big band music in Orlando! Our featured bands include:
