Swingin’ Denver

This is a professional swing dance organization that teaches lessons for all levels from brand new to advanced. They run bi-​weekly dances and major events with workshops, live music, performances and more. They have major community outreach in several neighborhoods in Denver and the suburbs. If you want to learn vintage swing dancing (jitterbug, lindy hop), see great jazz bands, or just attend an amazing themed event, follow Swingin’ Denver on social media. Don’t miss out!

Kenny is a star! He can get anybody moving on the dance floor. My wife and I love hitting the classes at Arvada Tavern on Wednesday night, then grabbing a drink and some grub. Very cool spot, very supportive place to learn and laugh.

My husband and I moved to Denver a year and a half ago from DC, where we were very active in the swing dance community. We tried a few lesson programs here (we’re not great and definitely need instruction!) and ultimately, we really struggled to find a great environment to learn to dance in Denver. But just recently, we found Swingin’ Denver!
We dropped in for an advanced Lindy Hop lesson last night and loooved it! The instructors are really good dancers and the lessons are challenging — which is much needed for us since we’ve had a year and a half break from any instruction/​social dances/​practice whatsoever. The instructors are friendly and dedicated to creating a friendly, inclusive, active swing dance community in the Denver area. They appear to plan several social dances (some with DJs but some with live bands — which are the best kind of social dances). At the conclusion of each class, the instructors videotape the moves and post them on Youtube, which is great since my husband and I love to practice.
I’m really excited to attend future classes — maybe I’ll even check out a Balboa class. If you’re looking for Lindy Hop instructors, I highly recommend Swingin’ Denver!
