It doesn't matter if you're seeing this on Thursday or Friday.

If you're reading this on Thursday, come out to Rocklin Swing tonight at the Chalet Event Center. It's a DJ night, the vibe is super casual, and it's a great night to dance. No pressure, no performance, just good music and people who want to dance. Beginner lesson at 7:30 PM, social dance from 8:00 to 10:00 PM. No partner needed.

If you're reading this on Friday, we're back at Spotlight Ballroom for our big Friday night dance. Dean Mora and his Capital Rhythmists are in the house playing incredible swing music. Beginner lesson at 8:00 PM, band hits the floor at 9:00 PM. No partner needed for this one either.

Grab some friends and come dance with us.

Gotta love the shim sham! Almost every week at Midtown Stomp we do the shim sham as part of our night. We have a lot of traditions and this one is one of our longest standing. See you on the dance floor!

Each week we celebrate birthday and everything else special for our dancers! Some weeks we don't have a lot of people in the jam, but last week there was a lot to celebrate. Let's go for a walk around the circle and enjoy all of the dancers celebrating. Have something to celebrate? Let us know or jump on out there when the celebration jam starts.

Last month, we had the honor of being invited to perform at the Harris Center for Folsom Lake College's end of the year dance recital.

So the photo guy tagged along and got some photos!

Another scene from the instructor jam during the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame event that we hosted last weekend. Many years ago, even before we started Midtown Stomp, it seems like it was more common for Lindy Hoppers to attend West Coast Swing events. Some of our current dancers have spent time dancing and competing with the Westies. There's beauty in bringing skills from other dances into our dancing, and we love seeing people learning and enjoying other styles.

We're talking about doing more cross over events soon. See you on the dance floor.

You’re going to get awesome workshops by the amazing instructors in Sacramento. Plus three social dances and contests that add to the fun! Starting Thursday evening and going through Saturday, this is sure to be a weekend you don't want to miss. Check bio or comments for link to all of the event info and registration!

Series classes kick off tonight, and we're pumped. If you've been thinking about actually learning Lindy Hop, this is the week to start. Show up at 7 pm and get in from the beginning.

Not ready for that? No problem. We've got a drop-in swing class at 8pm that requires zero experience and zero partner. Just show up, we'll teach you enough to have fun, and then we dance!

End of the night. Some "Shiny Stockings." Some cool moves. Great dance Peter and Cecile! This is a song we have been dancing to for a long time, and that carries a lot of fond memories for a lot of us. Peter not only leads one of our favorite bands but has been dancing for a while ;) Cecile is also a wonderful dancer and if you want to see more of her, you can check out our recent Jitterbelles video from the California State Train Museum. We've had a lot of discussion lately about different styles of Lindy Hop and different styles of swing dancing. We love them all, and we appreciate that our dancers love different styles. This dance, we think, highlights a style that we may not see as often anymore but is dear to the hearts of many Sacramento dancers.
