What is the Swing-Ins atmosphere like?
It is a very friendly and casual atmosphere. Newcomers routinely comment on how welcome they were made to feel, and how friendly everyone was to them. (Note that on the occasional nights when we have a live band, the atmosphere is more “busy”, but still friendly. Some newcomers have said that typical non-live-band-night, versus a special event night, is a better choice as a first night for beginning newcomers. See the Special Events page for announcements of when there are live bands.) The Swing-In gives you a place to go social dancing without the down sides of the dance club or bar atmosphere. There is no smoking or drinking of alcoholic beverages at the Swing-In.
