Upcoming events

  • Monthly Beginner Lesson & Dance

    September 30th

    The last Tuesday of every month our crew does a beginner-style blues lesson from 7–7:45pm before the weekly swing/blues dance at Falcon Bowl.

    This month is a bit more special as we will be using the whole ballroom space to teach another round of blues dancing idiom called Ballroomin’. This idiom is when the partnership travels around the dance floor instead of staying generally in place. We don’t frequently get the opportunity to use the whole space!

    Falcon Bowl is located at 801 East Clarke Street in Milwaukee. The dancing is from 8–10pm.

  • Monthly Beginner Lesson & Dance

    October 28th

    On the last Tuesday of each month, 414 Blues Dancing takes over the weekly swing dance that is held in the ballroom at Falcon Bowl (801 East Clarke Street, Milwaukee). Basic blues dance lesson from 7–7:45pm with a live swing band from 8–10pm. Blues DJ for band break. Free to join and tip the band to keep it going. Come other Tuesdays for a basic swing lesson at 7pm
