📣📣Calling all lindy hoppers, balboa-heads, Charleston nuts, and shag enthusiasts! Come on out to Portland's longest-running swing dance, bringing you fantastic live jazz music on Norse Hall's magnificent floor.
Stomp Off Party will be bringing the house down tonight at Thursday Swing! Bringing together talent from all across the Willamette Valley jazz community (and beyond), the band will be swinging with vibrance and depth all night long. A collaboration that is polyphonic and multigenerational, Stomp Off Party dives into the American songbook to deliver riffs and rhythms tuned expressly for dancing. A night with this band is always lively, always swinging, and always exceptional.
Our Foundations Lesson is an hour-long beginner lesson from 6:45PM-7:45PM (and is included with the dance cover!). The lesson is great for folks who are new to dancing, curious about dancing, or just love dancing! Topics will lean more towards Lindy Hop or Charleston depending on the band playing each Thursday night.
