Swing Riot, Dunedin

Just a reminder that Swing Riot classes are taking a break for the month of June, so tomorrow night is our last Tuesday for a bit. It's a great time to rest your feet (or practice your Charleston in the living room 🙂). We'll be back with our regular Tuesday night Lindy Hop classes on July 7.
