📣📣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.
Lone Fir Hot Club will be performing tonight at Thursday Swing. The band's sound leans heavily on Jazz Manouche or the "Gypsy Swing" songbook offered by the original Hot Club featuring Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli. The band takes additional inspiration from the Jazz Manouche of both sides of the Atlantic and dabbles in 1940's American swing to bop traditional era music. Come out and dance to their playful stylings this week at Thursday Swing!

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.
