General Information on Lindy in the Park

  • Free Swing Dancing, on a Thursday?

    Actually, yes, but it’s a one-time thing.

    Our friends at the 9:20 Special are having an Open House, and everyone’s invited!

    One of San Francisco’s longest-running night swing dance venue, the 9:20 Special opens its doors to welcome back old friends, thank friends who’ve supported us over the years, and reach out to make new friends with a big Open House Party featuring:

    * Free crash course beginner swing lesson
    * Music to swing DJs Jesse Miner, Jeremy Lewis & Manu Smith
    * Special performances featuring local, regional and national lindy hop champions
    * A night full of great social dancing in our big and beautiful ballroom!

    And the whole thing is FREE! No cover, no class charges, nothing – FREE!

    Isn’t that a novel idea? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Actually, it’s awesome that they’re doing this, and you should all check it out, especially if you’ve only come out to Lindy in the Park.
