Tucson Swing Dance Club

Every Thursday night in Tucson, Arizona about 100 west coasties meet for this most fantastic party! There is an amazing lesson and everyone is very friendly. All it takes is one night to feel like you've been a member of this club for years.

The lessons were exceptionally well organized and clear in their instruction. Darian Barrett & Robert Grace (two very talented teachers with bright futures) taught in three parts, moving from pre-intermediate to advanced and everyone was able to get something out of the class. Moreover, everyone was kind and encouraging to those who found some parts to be challenging.

I was very lucky to be there for the annual "All American Jack n' Jill." This event was very fun. It was open to all levels - come what may! 41 couples appeared on the floor and danced in two heats. The best part about this competition was the attitude held by the dancers. It was meant to be fun and it stayed that way.

There was also lots of social dancing. Everyone danced with everyone else. This club is just so much fun! The dance and lesson is free to first time visitors. Members only pay a measily $3! If you are going to Tucson, this is the thing to do and the people to meet.
