“Traditional Tuesdays” Swing Dances at Falcon Bowl

Swing and brass bands now play at the Falcon Bowl every Tuesday evening. With over 2,000 square feet of original wood dance floor, this newly renovated ballroom is a quite a dancer’s paradise. “Traditional Tuesdays” was started and managed by Gregory Cramer, band leader of Sliphorn Jazz Band and the ever popular Extra Crispy Brass Band. The four-band lineup repeats each month with a swing DJ on 5th Tuesdays (which occurs every third month).

During the 7:00 to 8:00 DJ dancing, volunteers will give mini-private Balboa and Shag Swing lessons.

The cost of entry is free. Keep this going by tipping the band, the bar, and tipping for water.

Come early or stay later and bowl in the historic bowling alley that is below the ballroom.

7:00 – 8:00 – DJ Hot Jazz Cass

8:00 – 10:00 – Rotating Swing/Brass Bands

Not sure how to swing dance yet? Come and listen (many do just that) and be inspired and then come back to Falcon Bowl each Thursday for group swing dance lessons by Cream City Swing.

Hello MKE Stomp,
I was not able to attend the first two Lindy 101 lessons, so I thought I was too behind for the last two lessons. I was hoping you’d have another 101 series in Sept. I see it’s 102. Is it possible for a Lindy beginner to catch up to 102?
Thanks, Jonnie

  The group that does the Lindy lessons is Cream City Swing. Creamcityswing.com lists which level of lesson is coming. I’m pretty darn sure that they are starting the Lindy 101 cycle back over this upcoming Thursday..

Hello,

I’ve been in your Lindy classes (LOVE them!). I completed 101 and signed up for 102. I was able to attend lesson #1, but Covid has prevented me from continuing for last week and tonight. Next week I have an event I can’t reschedule, so I will have missed 3/4 of the lessons. I don’t want a refund because you all earn every penny and then some. What I’d like to do is attend 102 in the next session and come early to observe 103. I’m happy to pay for the next session, and I hope this is ok with you.

Thanks, Jonnie
