Yale Swing & Blues Events

Moves of the Week

Upcoming Moves of the Week (held 8-9 PM in the first hour of Practicum) will focus on swing rather than blues, with the exciting and forward-looking theme, "Getting Ready for CTLX".

Practicum Sunday, May 2

For the low low price of absolutely FREE, you can: dance, hang out and watch us dance, listen to music, ask questions or get feedback from experienced dancers on specific aspects of your dancing in a relaxed & intimate setting.

Bulldog Days Dance on Mon, 19 April

It's about time for Yale to admit a new crop of students for the coming four years - oh wait, they already did! Quick, now we have to get them to come to Yale, and our chosen strategy for doing that is to get them to come dance with us.

Monthly Dance with Blue Vipers TONIGHT Saturday, February 20

We're welcoming the Blue Vipers of Brooklyn back to our favorite Monthly Dance Space, the Undercroft of Christ Church, 84 Broadway, New Haven. If you've heard this hoppin' dance band before, and many of you have, you realize without me saying anything more that there is no excuse for not dropping everything you are doing that Saturday evening and coming out to shake a tail feather.

Practicum Sunday, January 24

Yes, we're having a dance on Friday night, and Yes, there are other exciting dancing opportunities in Connecticut on Saturday (check out the Blue Moon Ball going on in West Hartford!), but WE WANNA DANCE on Sunday nights and nothing is going to stand in our way!

Monthly Dance Friday January 22

The fourth Friday of this first month of January, the Undercroft of Christ Church will be swinging to the tunes of our fabulous djs, with a late night Blues house party not far behind. Due to recent events, the organizers of Yale Swing & Blues have decided to make this month's Swing Dance & House Party event into a fundraiser for the relief work in Haiti.

The organizers of Yale Swing & Blues will be meeting, eating, and most likely dancing on Thursday 1/14 as we take stock of the organization and see where we want to go in 2010. These meetings are open to anyone who wants to be involved, or even just to give us feedback
