The swing dance scene here in Vancouver is very welcoming! Showboat on Thursdays down at Kits Beach is a great way to get out for a casual event while learning a little on the side. Take lessons as well. Check out what Rhythm City has to offer at www.rhythmcity.ca. As for being single, not to worry. You'll dance with everyone out there. Hi Jordan,

Any recommendations on a beginner event? Also, I am a guy who would be going alone, is that alright or do you need a date for these things? Thanks in advance! -Jordan Hey, I am looking to get into swing dancing this summer. Any recommendations on a beginner event?

There have been quite a number of performers on Granville already this summer and I have only seen a small number of them. You can email the DVBIA and ask them. They may know who the kids were.

Often, though, these are the same people who will look down on those of us who can't get into their music. We're intellectually stunted or just have no appreciation for good music. Not so! We have an appreciation for good music... just not noodly music. Noodly is a great word for it, though there has been some exception taken to the articles by lovers of this type of Jazz.
