Questions
Do I need to know how to dance?
No. There's a free lesson before the band every month. Each show's lesson time is in the list above. No partner or experience needed.
Do I need a partner?
No. Come on your own or bring a friend. The lessons don't need a partner.
How much is it?
$10 at the door. The dance lessons are included.
What time should I get there?
The lesson comes first (each show's time is in the list above), and the band plays from 8 PM to 1 AM. Early night? Get dinner, hear the first set, and be home by 9:30. Busy evening? Come after. We play until 1.

Where do I park?
Rideshare and transit are easiest. There's public and paid parking near the venue.
Can I reserve a table?
Barstools and booths are first-come, first-served. VIP seating and booths go fast, so ask for one here and we'll get back to you.
What kind of music is it?
Western Swing, played for dancers all night. We play country to swing and everything in between: classics, originals and new arrangements built on the groove of Count Basie and the great Western Swing bands of the '40s and '50s.

Once a month at Skinny Dennis. The next one is Friday, October 30.
