First Saturday Swing (live music)

The live music is a once-per-year event at the monthly First Saturday Swing.

First Saturday Swing is the biggest regular San Diego event, going to the live music by Dave Stuckey and the Hot House Gang for this holiday month. It happens on (you've guessed right!) the first Saturday of each month at the Infinity Dance Sport Center. Please check the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pg/FirstSaturdaySwing/events/ for details (event is not yet published there). A lesson starts at 8PM, dance party at 9PM (doors open at 7:30PM). Technically the dancing ends at 12:30AM, but finding a dance partner about midnight might be a challenge.

Logistics: Admission this time is expected to be $20 (due to live music, an update will be published closer to the event). Parking is easy and free (use the business parking lots around the building or the street parking), this light-industrial neighborhood feels very safe. Dress for a truly warm atmosphere. The quality of the large, but sometimes crowded, dance floor is excellent, it is one of the best ones in San Diego. Admission includes a free lesson. Water dispenser is available, complimentary soda, chips and other snacks are provided

Dancers: expect more than 100 dancers present, ranging from beginners to very advanced. There are frequently somewhat more followers than leaders, ratio usually gets more even as the party progresses. The event is quite beginner-friendly.
