Welcome to a very special May edition of SwingColumbus on a weekend! We’re bringing you lessons and an evening dance on Saturday, and would love to see you at our sister org’s event, Central Ohio Hot Jazz on Sunday!

We’re bringing two amazing instructor sets for a one-day workshop. Hone your lindy hop skills under the expert tutelage of Mandy Hogan and Danny Beyrer from Indianapolis, and Kyra Isaacs and Charlie Weiprecht from Baltimore!
You may self-select your placement for one of the two tracks: Avid Swing Dancer and Experienced Lindy Hopper. Please note our instructors may ask you to switch pending how your dancing aligns with others in your track in order to provide the best instructional experience.
Registration is open on EventBrite now! You’ll love taking classes with Danny, Mandy, Kyra, and Charlie! If you’re unsure about their awesomeness or haven’t heard of them, that’s ok. Let their dancing speak for them!

Sunday May 20 Central Ohio Hot Jazz!
Finish out your weekend with some awesome hot jazz presented by our sister organization, the Central Ohio Hot Jazz Society! The COHJS is bringing the Dave Kosmyna’s Original Downhome Jazz Band to the Clintonville Woman’s Club. This Toledo area band will perform while you dance or just listen to their music.
Dancers, since hot jazz songs tend to run long, we suggest jumping onto the dance floor a minute or two into the song. This also allows the listening-only audience a chance to watch the band members work their instrumental magic. Please note the floor is small. Keep your dance movements small, watch out for each other and dancers who use the “line of dance” around the edge of the floor, and apologize if you bump into someone.
BYOB, hot food, snacks, soft drinks and coffee available for purchase.
Clintonville Woman’s Club
3951 North High St, Columbus, OH 43214
ADMISSION Pay at the door
COHJS members: $15
General public: $20
Swing dancers: $10
Music students / educators: FREE
