Hello there, Lindy Hop ladies and Judo gentlemen. Reno Swings! is proud to host the 69th annual Combat Swing Tournament!

We are in partnership with 420+ dojos and dance studios across America to celebrate the rich history of Combat Swing. We will be having Colonel Sanders as a guest judge for the tournament.

If you wish to participate in this year’s tournament, please register by April 6th. Tickets are $42 per person. Buy now before they sell out!

Mark your calendars. There will be blood on the dance floor.

This is an April Fool’s Day joke. Please do not take seriously…

Travel over the pass with Reno Swings!

As we enter spring, the pass to California shall clear up, granting us access to more dancing opportunities! While Reno is indeed our home base of operations, our relationship to the other scenes keep us connected to the world of swing dancing. Come meet our sister scenes in Sacramento, the Bay Area, Tahoe, Truckee, and beyond!

If you wish to see the greater world of swing dancing beyond our little corner of Nevada, let us know! We will keep you in the loop as to our plans to cross into the California scenes. Contact us here, or on facebook and instagram to be put our travel list!

Every Wednesday

We hold beginner-friendly jitterbug lessons at 7:00 PM every Wednesday at 877 Ralston Street in Reno. Stick around after for social dancing at 8:00 PM. $10 admission, $7 for students. No partner or experience required!

Sunday, August 21st

There are two danceable events on Sunday. One is by the Sagebrush Swingers (the band that played our dance in Virginia City last month!). They are playing the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. More details here.

The other dance event is Margaret’s Funk Band at the Village at Rancharrah from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This one is more suited to blues dancing, but it’s sure to be a good time! More details here.

Sunday, August 28th

There will be live jazz at the Village at Rancharrah by the Reno Jazz Syndicate! The show starts at 1:00 PM and ends at 4:00 PM. More details here.

Thank you to everyone who came to our first night back swinging last week – we had a great crowd and a super fun time. We even got to dance with dancers visiting from Sacramento…

RenoSwings! is back TONIGHT (and every Wednesday) with weekly swing dance lessons and social dancing on Wednesdays at the American Legion Hall in Reno (877 Ralston St.)

We start with our fun and easy Jitterbug lesson at 7 PM, followed by social dancing from 8 PM until about 10 PM. No partner or experience necessary… and no need to dress up (unless you want to!). Bring your friends!

What does it cost? No inflation here! Admission is $10 which includes both the lesson and social dancing, and $7 for students…. the same price since we started this dance over 5 years ago! (Note: we do NOT have credit card processing yet, so please bring cash. We do accept Venmo as well)
