Swing Nights Learn to Swing Dance with Swing Nights! We host Lindy Hop, Charleston, and vernacular Jazz dance classes and socials in Denver, CO. Community is our purpose.

Originating from the historic Mercury Cafe, we're now on Tour, so follow us to find out where we'll be next! Tuesday & Sunday lessons and dances are held at:

Mercury Cafe
2199 California St. Denver, CO 80205


TUESDAYS:

6 pm Beginning Lindy Hop! This month long series explores the grandfather of all swing dances! You'll learn 6- and 8-count rhythms, Charleston, and a new set of dips and tricks each month! Lindy Hop is a little more challenging than our Basic Jitterbug classes, but is well worth the effort. ($35/4-week session, drop-in $10/per class)

7 pm Intermediate Lindy Hop! Classes will be focusing on fun, socially leadable moves that you can show off at the dance! Join us for some fun new material! ($35/4-week session, drop-in $10/per class)

8 pm Open dance for only $12! (Take a class, save $2 off cover)
When in Denver, the Tuesday night Lindy Jam is not to be missed! Join our dedicated community as we come together to move to Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt and Ella Fitzgerald. Music by our fabulous Guest DJs! https://swingnights.com/register
