1. Series Class on Wednesdays starts TONIGHT – Lindy Hop
Our February series class will start at 7 PM tonight and run for 4 weeks. We will be teaching Lindy Hop, and we recommend 6-8 weeks of Jitterbug as a pre-requisite to joining this class.
NOTE: In March, we will be teaching a whole month of Lindy Rueda. This is an amazingly fun group/partner dance, and fine tuning your Lindy Hop basics in February will get you ready for the Rueda class.
We will continue drop-in Jitterbug classes and social dancing each Wednesday in January at the American Legion Hall – 877 Ralston St. in Reno. Admission is $10 general, $7 for students.
Here are the details – spread it around!

2. South Lake Tahoe Swing Dancing on Mondays
We’ve had a great time in South Lake Tahoe this last month, and the dance will continue for the foreseeable future. We’ve been averaging around 30 people, give or take. The lesson starts at 6:30, with dancing from 7:30 to 9 PM. This event will be hosted at Stateline Brewery, which is in Heavenly Village (they are downstairs).
Details HERE.There is no cover charge for this event, but food and/or drink purchases will allow this event to remain free. So if you can come to dance, please plan to support the venue.
Note: Designated parking for Stateline Brewery is two short blocks away in the parking lot behind The Lucky Beaver. This parking lot is accessed through the Harrah’s driveway, and then you walk south past Harrahs and Stateline Brewery is just another short block.3. Dancing around the area – Truckee (monthly), South Lake Tahoe Big Band (monthly)
A. On the Third Tuesday of each month, join Jeff and Michelle for a lesson and dancing at Alibi Brewing Company in Truckee.

B. On the last Friday of each month, there’s a live big band dance in South Lake Tahoe. Here are the details from their website:
Big Band Dances
All ages are invited to attend the Big Band dances held at the Senior Center. The 17-piece Tahoe Dance Band performs the last Friday of each month from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm with holiday exceptions.
Admission is $15 and $12 for Members.
4. Blues Dancing – Little City Blues is on hiatus
We will be taking a little break from blues dancing. When there is an organized push to restart it, we will let everyone know. Thank you to those who have been attending.
5. Can you help us? A favor to help our dance scene grow!
We were reminded recently that we have very little presence on the Internet. For example, we didn’t have any Google reviews, or even an active profile. We didn’t have a Yelp profile either (and I’m sure that’s not the extent of where we are missing). Without a presence online, we are not easy to find when people search for swing dancing in our area.
Can you take a moment to leave a short review? Doesn’t need to be fancy – just a few words about your experience dancing with us. The more reviews we have, the more our info will show up when people search!
Google PROFILE (this is for everyone- scroll down under our listing to the “Write a Review” button)
Yelp PROFILE (if you are an active Yelp user, consider leaving a review here. If you are not active on Yelp, they rarely will show your review, so it’s probably not worth your time.
6. GET FUN RenoSwings! T-SHIRTS
If you want a Reno Swings T-Shirt or hoodie, you can order in your preferred size and color HERE. They are also available in long sleeve and hoodie options.
Thanks so much! We’ll see you on the dance floor!
Cheers-
Clay and Cullen
