Swing Goth (East Bay) 5.00 5.004

Swing Goth is what happens when rock-a-billy meets goth, and is peppered with a little blues, waltzing and a healthy portion of dirty dancing... all to modern music.

It takes place on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month in the back room of El Rio. Plus there are special events around The Bay.

Don't know how to dance? No problem, there are drop-in, no partner required lessons in Basic Partner Dancing for $5.

We get a good crowd of people... sometimes that means there's a lot, and sometimes that means there's just 30, but they're all fun people-people. It's often best night that I (and purportedly many others) have all week. But don't take my word for it, check us out what real reporters have said about us:

SF Weekly - http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2009/01/club_night_re...

That's it, dancing to fabulous music, surrounded by fabulous people. If you're a fabulous people and you like to be around and dance with other fabulous people, come on down and check the place out!
