Hi, Brian! Thanks for letting me post about our event Old Hollywood Lights, New Hope Nights March 8th for New Hope Grief Support. We are postponing the event due the wildfires and fundraising focus on that recovery. We don’t have a new date yet, but will come back when we do. Thanks for taking down the notice. Until next time!
Hello, is the Bigband playing tonight in Mayflower Club even on New Years Day?
Because here on Swing Dance its posted, but not on their page. I couldnt reach them..
Hi Nic,
It’s just a recurring event in my database so they’re probably not playing if it’s not on their page. I’ll remove it, thanks!

I think NYE at Atomic is strictly ballroom this year.
Hi Mark,
Many thanks, updated!

Brian: I posted an OLD flyer on the Dec. 28th date. Can you delete it for me so I can repost? Thank you!!
Hi! I’m helping out at the Battleship IOWA to put together a Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance on 12/7. We are looking for a couple or two to dance to the Andrew’s Sisters on the back of the Battleship. Message me if you are interested!!

Thank you Brian! Posted!
Hello! I’ll be visiting LA from November 23rd-27th. It looks like there are quite a few Lindy opportunities! I’m curious which one(s) will likely be the most well attended by dancers? I’m hoping to get in as much social dancing as I can while I’m there! Thank you :-)
Hi Ashlee,
Welcome! Unfortunately, you’re missing some of the better events like the Burbank Moose Lodge on Friday.
Saturday probably the best bet is PBDA. Cicada is a great venue but sometimes it’s BYOP. Monday there’s Crown City Dance. Tuesday I’d say, the Queen Mary Observation Bar. Wednesday there’s Old Town Swing in Orange County. These events are insanely far apart though… not sure where you’re staying. Also, double check the calendar as some of these might not happen on Thanksgiving week.
Unfortunately this is not a great week for Swing dancing events in LA.
Best,
Brian
Thank you so much!
Hello Brian,
Unfortunately San Lyon has to cancel the event at The Ordinarie in Long Beach on Wed Oct 9th.
Our talented friends @les_bons_garcons_ will take our place.
How could I delete the San Lyon event on the website?
Thank you so much,
Jenna
Hi Jenna,

My name is Jason Welke and I am one of the owners/brewer of a new brewery, Port Town Brewing Company, in down town San Pedro, CA. I am writing because I am trying to connect with like minded people and communities to share my brewery with. Our building was built in in 1918 as Liberty Auditorium as a 10,000 sq/ft dance hall which showcased many of the bands of the early jazz era such as Orys Creole Sunshine Orchestra. It was the one place in town you could bring a date safely because it was a dry establishment. Sadly it did not remain a dance hall for long and soon became a series of car garages and impound lot and more recently simply empty. Well we’ve spent years turning it into a brewery/tasting room and space for public and private events. I’ve built the bar and bar wall in the Greene and Greene craftsman style of the early 1900’s and I’ve built a sound track or early jazz up until the 1940’s. My goal is to reach out to the communities who appreciate the same things that I do and be able to share this place with them, maybe even host a big band swing night. I am very new to doing this though and would love some help or at least to be pointed in the right direction for both getting the word out and figuring out how to be a part of the community. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Jason
Hi Jason,
This looks amazing! It would be awesome to have a regular Swing night (or afternoon) here. Someone who is already doing something very similar at Boomtown Brewery in the Arts District is Culture Matters https://www.culturematters.org/contact-1. You could see if they are interested in replicating their event at your space.
Or, I’d be glad to create a blog post out of your comment to reach out to the Swing dance community through my FB page and email list to see if any promoters and/or bands would be interested in working with you on a Swing night at Port Town Brewing Company.
Let me know.
Best,
Brian
