Swing dance is about community, meeting people, dancing with friends and strangers alike, in a beautiful outdoor setting with fun swing music of the 30s and 40s.
Bring a friend who's never danced before, or if they enjoy some live music and sunshine. Come hang out with us!
=============================
Lindy by the Lake is a super low-key, super secret, no-fuss, no-muss gathering of Lindy Hoppers to make music and dance in an all-inclusive, all-ages, all-skill level environment.
Let's gather by the lake towards Lakeshore Drive and E 18th St at the cemented area. Pack plenty of water and sunscreen. And maybe a light sweater (you never know when that breeze picks up.) You can grab a snack at Grand Lake Farmers Market before heading over.
DJ to be announced!
Please contact Auey Santos if you'd like to volunteer. David Shen is our LBTL DJ coordinator.
😜Let's get off Facebook and get outside!
So are you gonna be part of this? Say yes. And be proud, be loud. We hella ❤️ Oakland. And we hella ❤️ Lindy Hop. Spread the love!

Commuting to LBTL:
Nearest BART Station is Lake Merritt, about .8 mi or 15 minute leisurely walk away. Free parking is available around the lake on Saturdays. It is usually fair to easy in the morning to find free parking. Metered street parking is also available on 18th St. You can also use mootvit.com to figure out bus lines to the Lake. If you plan on going to the Farmers Market in the morning, there is public pay parking at the freeway underpass (enter via Lake Park Avenue/Grand). It's about a 7-10 minute walk from the Farmers Market, following the Lake.
Driving to LBTL:
The easiest landmark would be to put in Lucky's Supermarket on E. 18th Street in your GPS. Park around there and then walk towards the lake and you can't miss the landing. . This will help you avoid some of the crazy re-routing happening along the lake some weekends. Clockwise traffic is often closed in one lane around the lake.
See everybody on Saturday!
