On each of these Sundays, the free drop-in beginning swing dance lessons run from 1:00pm to 1:30pm, followed by music and dancing from 1:30pm to 2:30pm. Then lessons pick up again at 2:30 to 3:00pm, following by music and dancing from 3:00pm to 4:00pm.

Thanks for the great write up supporting Dancing in the Street, Rebecca! Hope to see you out at one of the dances!
How wonderful. We were talking about planning a vacation to Vancouver. We’ve never been there and hear it’s beautiful AND we’re swing dancers. I even blog about jitterbug, vintage, recipes, decorating as well as work on my fictional swing dance novel! I hope this event continues by the time we can visit!
