Spooky Swing Spectacular with Zizania Swing
This month we are having a Halloween dance featuring live music from Zizania Swing. We encourage everyone to dress up and participate in the costume contest for a chance to win some neat prizes!
Social dances are the bread and butter for continuing to build our amazing swing dance community. We will always have a beginner lesson at the start of the night. If applicable, we will also run a beginner plus or intermediate class in parallel if there is enough demand on the night. No partner is needed, and all experience levels are welcome.
- Date & Time: Oct 23rd, 6:00 PM lesson, 7:00 – 10:00 PM social dance
- Location: Club Tico
