1. Wednesday Night – New Lindy Hop Classes start TOMORROW
We have a new Lindy Hop series starting tomorrow… details below. Drop-in Jitterbug class will continue each week, and we will make ourselves available for Lindy Hop practice and informal instruction during the 6 o clock hour.
6 PM Intermediate Practice – We open the hall up a little early for intermediate guided practice. It is designed for experienced dancers to come work on your dancing (dancers who already have taken several months of Lindy Hop). We will focus on different topics, and encourage you to bring questions or things you want to work on.
7 PM “Lindy Hop Essentials – 6-Count Patterns” – 4 Week Series Class – We are excited to return to teaching Lindy Hop, which is our first love! lol… Lindy Hop is the grandaddy of swing dances… versatile and smooth yet rhythmic, Lindy Hop is as rewarding as it is challenging. DISCOUNTED $35 passes are available online HERE.
Pre-requisite: At least 6-8 weeks of Jitterbug class (or equivalent experience). No previous Lindy Hop experience required.
7 PM Jitterbug Class – Open to everyone… no partner or experience necessary. We’ll breeze through the basics and get you up and running quickly… then we’ll take you through 3-5 different moves each week. This class is drop-in. $10/General and $7/Students each week (includes social dancing which follows). NEW – you can buy a discounted 4 week pass online HERE.
8 PM Social Dancing – we’ll spin the tunes for dancing and practicing what you learned in class. If you can, stay and play with us!
9:30 PM Blues Dancing – Toward the end of the night, we’re going to slow it down and play some blues music for blues dancing.
Reno Swings! is held at the American Legion Hall at 877 Ralston St. in Reno. Map here
We accept cash, check, major cryptocurrencies, Venmo and credit cards at the door. You can also buy class passes online (see links above). We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, and we don’t recommend big heels. You are free to bring a water bottle, or we have water for sale for $1.

4. Swing-N-Hops on hiatus
So you probably heard that Under The Rose has closed, so we are left without a venue for our monthly Swing-N-Hops dance. We are looking for an alternative, and will announce it as soon as we have secured a new location.
