We are excited to be letting you know that starting with our November classes, New School Swing will now be using a new Tuesday night venue in the heart of downtown Boston!

Jeannette Neill Dance Studio, near North Station in downtown Boston, will now be the host for our Tuesday night classes.  The studio has been hosting dance classes for over 35 years, and has also hosted many Lindy Hop classes in the past.  We know that you will love the space and the location.

Our regular Tuesday classes will now be held at 7pm and at 8pm.  Be advised that this is a slightly earlier time than our previous Tuesday classes at Dance Union.

We will no longer be hosting regular monthly classes at Dance Union for the time being.  However, we may still use the Dance Union space for special events, and of course we will let you know about those.

As always, we welcome your feedback.  Drop us a line on the Feedback page and let us know your thoughts!

Do you love to dance, or do you want to learn to dance? Come join us for our third in a series of fun, outdoor dance nights! 

This Tuesday, September 22, learn lindy hop from the crew at New School Swing!

Live music will be provided by Phil McGowan and his band

The lesson and dance are FREE! No partner necessary, and beginners are very welcome.
