📣📣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.
Portland's own vintage jazz band, Puddletown Stompers, will be performing this week at our weekly LIVE music dance party! ​ The band will be performing hot jazz tunes from the 'fabulous fives' era and beyond. ​ We'll be keeping things swingin', so join us for a dance this week!

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. ​
