Saturday Night Swing, Mostly Waltz events, and the Friday Live Band Blues & Swing Dances are held on big sprung wood dance floors in charming high ceilinged halls on the Bloor subway line. There is no need to bring your own dance partners as partners rotate in the classes and as the custom at dances is to change partners for each song. Most of those who come are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, some older, some under 20.

 

Lindy Hop is the most popular swing dance in the world today and also the most popular swing dance of the Swing Era.

Friday Blues & Swing: Blues Dancing is currently at the beginning of a resurgence in Toronto! Blues dancing is a group of dance styles typically done to blues music, and with roots and history going back to the 1930s, the 1920s, and earlier.

*Full-time student price/discount: $3 off the regular price for Saturday nights.  Must show a valid current student card.  There are also similar student discounts for the Blues Fridays and the Mostly Waltz Fridays.
