Price Change for Swingin’ Wednesdays begins Feb 3

For 5 great years SwingColumbus has been bringing you a free beginner lesson and 3 hours of amazing dancing every Wednesday night at Nyoh’s Buckeye Bar and Grill, all for just $3!

5 years is a long time, though, and we’re finally having to raise our prices (although you can still get practically the same $3 price you’re used to if you use our nifty new punch card system!)

Here’s everything you need to know:

1. Starting on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 the cash-at-the-door price will be $5 for a regular DJ’d dance and $10 for live band nights.
2. Punch cards will be for sale on January 6th, January 13th, and February 3rd*. One punch card will get you entry to 6 DJ’s nights at Swingin’ Wednesdays  for just $20!
   • For dancers this means you get the same great lesson and dance for essentially the same price we’ve been able to offer you for the last 5 years.
   • For volunteers this means less cash for you to manage on a weekly basis.

Even if you choose to pay $5 weekly instead of getting a punch card, Swingin’ Wednesdays remains the cheapest weekly dance in town, and the only place where you get to see 100 of your friends every Wednesday!

*Punch cards will be available for purchase at the door at Nyoh’s the first 2 Wednesdays in January, and the first Wednesday of every month from February 2016 on.
