Swing n’ Hops is just around the corner (Feb. 2), which means there will be plenty of food, live music and swing!
Each year the Limónadas have had the pleasure of teaching swing lessons as well as performing live at the El Paseo shopping district in Palm Dessert, celebrating the music and culture that makes swing dancing so magical.
Swing dancing has been around since the 1920s with the boom of big bands and jazz music. Taking part of Swing n’ Hops is taking part of history with people of all ages. Some learned from the originals, like Frankie Manning, others learned from social events like this one and some have yet to learn, but it is never too late!
Our lesson will include the triple step basic for beginners as well as turns and dips for when you part ways with your new social dance partners. We are all ready to help because dance has been a continuous source of joy for us and we can’t help but share that joy with others.
There is a certain intensity and passion that comes from performing with a live band that other social dance venues just can’t recreate. You’re actively listening as the band takes charge of the mood. There’s fast songs, slow songs and everything in between to keep the crowd on their feet.
This event is free and all ages so we hope you can let loose and enjoy all of the fun that Swing n’ Hops has to offer.
For more info you can visit the Swing n’ Hops event page. We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor!
