Colorado
is fortunate to have several GREAT dance venues
where, during any given week, you can Lindy Hop 5-6
times a week (during the school year you can add
another night). Coupled with the number of dancers
who rotate around to these venues, most nights you
are assured of having a good times. All of the venues
are all-ages.

Springs' weekly dance,
Swing in the Springs,
happens Sunday nights at the VFW Hall located
at 430 E. Pikes Peak Ave., in Downtown
Colorado Springs. Although it's the
shortest dance night, two hours, they make up
for it in overall energy.

Located
at 1570 Clarkson St., near the heart of
Downtown Denver, "The
Turn"
boasts the scene's largest regular dance

"The
Merc",
at 2166 California St. — a couple of blocks

majority of Denver's long-time Lindy Hop
dancers took their first lesson(s).
They offer a full-service, vegetarian
friendly Organic restaurant with a full bar
downstairs and a 3,000 sq. foot dance floor
upstairs. Lindy Hoppers consider the
Merc as the place to be on Tuesdays, and
Tango lovers cite the same for Friday
nights.
