Lindy Hop, 6-count Swing, Partner Charleston, and The Shim Sham will all be taught.

Swingin' Wednesdays
Every week at Nyoh's Buckeye Bar. A 30 minute lesson is taught at 7:30pm and then we dance to DJs 8pm-11pm. They have AWESOME happy hour specials for us and the food is great. Only $3 cover!
Cocktails at the Commons - July 8th
We've got a free beer tasting, we've got a free 30 min beginner swing dance lesson, and we've got one of our favorite bands in the universe playing in Columbus' brand new lovely downtown park. It's all free. And if you chicken out and just sit and eat a hot dog and watch the rest of us dance, no one will be the wiser.
The SwingColumbus monthly dance is FREE in July!
In celebration of Month of the Newbie we invite you to join us for a 1 hour lesson and 3 hours of DJs for FREE. Our monthly dance has been going for about 8 years now and is a welcoming, low pressure environment to practice your moves and play around inventing new ones!
