Bainbridge Swing Dance
About Bainbridge Swing Dance
Hosted by Will Craig
In addition to our treasured Swing Dance with live music, we have added Electro Swing Dance to the end of the evening's festivities. Electro Swing aka “swing house, is an electronic dance music genre that combines the influence of vintage or modern swing and jazz mixed with house and hip hop . . . A modern and dance-floor focused sound that is more readily accessible to the modern ear (Wikipedia).” There will be more intense lighting, including black lights, strobes and lasers. Featuring a curated playlist of recorded Electro Swing music.
Step into an exhilarating era of rhythm and movement at the Bainbridge Swing Dance—where youthful energy, live music, and pure joy come together. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just tapping your toes for the first time, this is the place to be.
Featuring top-tier live bands that specialize in swing dance tempos, sound, and style, every first Saturday night of the month. It's really a happening place. An absolute "must do”.
Open to all ages and skill levels, the Bainbridge Swing Dance is a public, family-friendly event with an exceptionally welcoming atmosphere. No partner is required for the lesson or the dance. Dance shoes are encouraged. No pre-registration required.
Swing dance the night away. A different live band performs the first Saturday of every month at Family Life Center (16349 Chillicothe Road (Route 306) in Chagrin Falls, OH 44023).
