CLASS CONTENT

1-hour, drop-in class for Beginners.

Level 1: 6-count Lindy
Level 1+: 8-count Lindy and Charleston

This is NOT a taster class that's repeated every week.

Every month we cover a different theme and every week we'll change up the moves. So each class is accessible for newbies, whilst also challenging for beginner Lindy Hoppers in their first 3-6 months (depending on attendance and progress).

DRINKS

Staying hydrated is important. We provide free flow filtered water, but please bring your own bottle. We have stopped selling bottled water since July 2018.

A selection of canned soft drinks and beer is also on sale.

There are other regular Lindy, Balboa and Blues nights happening weekly and monthly. For the latest, please check over at: Local scene FB group - Swing Dance Malaysia

Swing dancing around Asia
In the last few years, Asia has exploded Lindy-wise. Since the local language is not always English, we continue to support the Asia Lindy Alliance project to run a website where visitors to Asia or within Asia can be pointed to the most relevant info on dancing in the region.

History of TUESDAY NIGHT SWING

Tuesday Night Swing is the first and longest-running regular swing dance event in Malaysia.

In 2009, at 6 months old, we were on the look-out for a new venue. Again. Bar or restaurant staff usually ended up treating us with anything from caution to disregard.

A dancer suggested we check out the new Sid's Pub in what was then still known as Kampung Kerinchi, but referred to as "Bangsar South" by developers.

So from 2009 until April 2017, Tuesday Night Swing was held at Sid's Pub in Bangsar South. Next door to a 7-Eleven and an Old Town White Coffee.

We were a small bunch when we got there, but the group slowly grew. The 30-min taster class went from being on an ad hoc basis (based on the ad hoc-ness of interested people), to a paid and very full class that required registration.

Thanks to the growth of the scene, we were able to move to our current venue where it's possible to have full length class & social, which was our goal.

We've had many, many great nights there and will always be very grateful to the team at Sid's Pubs, in particular Chendai and Frank, for their support and friendship.

Below are some pix from our time in Sid's, Bangsar South.
