Dance venues near Redwood City?

Forrester’s Hall has been sold! Forrester’s Hall is the current venue for Redwood City Swing. As a result, Carla and the other instructors are looking for a new location. The ideal location would:

* be located within a 15 minute drive of the current location
* have hardwood floors
* have at least 3000 square feet
* have a “nice” ambiance (not a high school gym)
* have ample parking.

If you know of such a venue, please let me or Carla Heiney know.

You ain’t got a thing, if you ain’t got that swing

capitalism-yeah invited me to go with her and her friend Gretchen last night to Redwood City Swing. It was blast!

We took the beginner drop-in class, which they offer every Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. Both instructors were very competent, helpful and on the ball. Afterwards, Gretchen and capitalism-yeah took turns dancing with me. After they left, two women asked me to dance. There were probably 60 – 80 people there overall. They also served snacks (strawberries, chips, cookies), and had several coolers of water set up.

Downsides: the music is loud (though there are areas where it is much quieter, and you can talk), and it can get stifling hot (no a/c).

Thanks capitalism-yeah!
