Anonymous asked: Hello, Sir Nate. I wish you luck on your noble quest to find the damsel who is perfect for you. Whoever she is, she is one very lucky lady :) So, am I correct in thinking that you live, or have lived, in Utah? If so, where did you learn how to swing dance? Could you recommend any good locations for beginners? Especially ones that would be compatible with the budget of a poor college student? :) Thanks.
Swing dancing in Utah:
BYU
- Beginner and Intermediate Lessons on Thursdays from 7:00 - 8:30 in the Wilk Ballroom (free)
- Beginner Lessons and Dance every Saturday. Dances are super cheap, and free if you pay the club fee. (The location moves, I recommend tuning into the FB page here.)
University of Utah
- The U of U has free swing lessons every week.
- Here’s their FB page.
Savoy Swing Nights
- Savoy Swing Nights is a bi-monthly dance in Salt Lake. Lots of fun, and I’m pretty sure they do a lesson before every dance. They often have dress-up nights and live bands.
If you’re interested in West Coast Swing (kind of a mix of swing in ballroom, normally danced to more mainstream music. No big band stuff) you can check out the Murray Arts Center.
If you want Blues dancing, check here.
I’m not sure what’s going on in Logan. So, if you’re up there, good luck.
Hope that helps!
