A new era of swing dancing is coming to Phoenix, and you’re invited to the preview party. A local community member – Ryan Pinney – is generously creating a dedicated space for dancers, complete with all the bells and whistles. Savage Rhythm is thrilled to be partnering with them to bring this exciting new venue to life. Join us for an evening of live music and dancing, and help support the installation of a brand-new dance floor. Let’s make this the hottest new spot in town!
About The Lesson and Social Dancing
During the lesson, you will learn some East Coast Swing with a little Lindy Hop thrown in. Social dancing starts immediately after the lesson ends, and you’ll see a variety of different dances on the dance floor, including the Lindy Hop, Six Count Swing, Shag, Balboa, Charleston, and Blues. (If you used to come to swing dancing at The Duce, this is our new home!)
Music
Hooray! Word on the street is that it’s live music!
Age Range
The age range is typically from people in their twenties to fifties, with a skew towards the younger range.
About The New Venue
This is a work-in-progress and why we are fundraising. The floor space is 1000 sq. ft. with an additional 600 sq. ft. of lounge space.
Air Conditioning
Yes. Currently a 5 ton AC, being upgraded to a 10 ton AC. The owner of the space owns an HVAC company and swing dances and knows just how important cool air is.
Parking
Parking is plentiful, free, and located all around the property. The venue has 30 parking spots with overflow parking on the street.
Dance Guidelines
- Frequently wash/sanitize hands during the evening
- Do not attend if you are experiencing COVID symptoms, feel sick, or have been exposed. Help us keep the community healthy; stay home when not feeling well!
- Remember, NO always means NO. Keep in mind that more people than usual may want to limit the number of partners they dance with in an evening. Please be respectful of others’ choices and boundaries.
- We cannot guarantee a completely risk-free environment so please, dance at your own risk taking into consideration your personal health situation.
