Swing Dance Calendar for Auburn:

The Auburn University Swing Dance Association offers FREE Friday night dance classes and practice, 7-9 pm, at the Jan Dempsey Arts Center in Auburn, Alabama, in the big Performance Room. The Arts Center is behind the Frank Brown Recreation Center, across from Guthries, on Opelika Road (near the Post Office).

We also have an extra swing dance night, on Wednesdays, that we're now calling "Lindy Wednesday" (this is also FREE). At the first lesson of each month, we'll teach a beginner lesson in Lindy Hop; the other 3 or 4 nights we'll continue practicing our Lindy, Balboa, Shim Sham, Big Apple, or just whatever moves us that night (but NO beginner lesson except for the first one in the month!). These are also in Jan Dempsey Arts Center, in the large classroom, 6:30-8:30 pm.

Appropriate Dress: comfortable clothing (not tight jeans) and shoes with slick bottoms (not tennis shoes) that will stay on your feet (not clogs or flip flops). Ladies, if you wear a skirt, make sure to wear bike shorts or something similar underneath!
