Boston Tea Party Special Deal: Boston Tea Party had to move their event to fall on our dance date this year, however, they are offering a special deal to all attendees. Purchase a weekend pass to BTP and you also receive free admission to Uptown Swing! That’s two dances for the price of one on Saturday night. All you have to do is show your wristband, sign in, and dance to the fabulous Fried Bananas! In addition, BTP is offering all Uptown Swing attendees who are not attending the weekend to come to the Saturday late night for $20. BTP will be going all night so there will be plenty of time to dance the night away!

Uptown Swing is excited to welcome Shawn Hershey, Josh Fialkoff & The Fried Bananas to our March dance! Shawn first created the Fried Bananas back in his Boston days and we had some great nights dancing to them. Josh also played for us with his own previous band. Now these two have teamed up with a whole new group. They played at the last Montréal DanceFest and had the place swingin’ hard and we’ve been trying ever since to get them back to Boston!

The guest DJ for March is Paul Loschak.

Admission: $18 ($14 with Student ID)

Please note the adjusted schedule!

Due to time restrictions at KI (having to do with sundown), this dance will run from 9:30pm to 12:30am. This month there will be a basic Swing lesson running at the same time as the start of the band so as not to push back the music any later. It will be at 9:30pm in the back of the room.

Special Event: Frankie Manning 100th Birthday Celebration

Lindy Hoppers around the world will be gathering to celebrate Frankie Manning this May in honor of his 100th birthday! Frankie was a very special person who touched the lives of so many, from first time dancers to seasoned pros. Many of us in Boston were lucky to have met and even gotten to know him prior to his passing in 2009. This year we honor his life and his spirit as we endeavor to emulate the values he passed on.
