If you happen to have two left feet, you might not realize that Spokane is home to a vibrant and active swing dancing community. This group of Lindy Hoppers presents SWINGtoberfest, an annual weekend celebration of vintage swing music and dance. The festivities include a variety of workshops taught by accomplished choreographer, performer and instructor Chris Chapman, as well as concerts and dance contests for swing enthusiasts. Dancers will twirl to the tunes of the Coeur d'Alene Charter School Jazz Orchestra, Hot Club of Spokane, and Johnny J & the Flat Foot Floogies. Come cut a rug and get a taste for the community’s swing dance culture.
