Hanover Square, Downtown Syracuse
Mark the above dates (every other friday) on your calendars and join us for free dances at Hanover Square with a diverse collection of bands. Come, dance to some great live music, introduce your friends to swing dancing, and help us promote swing dancing in central New York.
On all nine Friday evenings, local instructors will give free half-hour beginning swing lessons during the first band break (7pm or so) to anyone interested.
You may want to put on padded shoes as you will be dancing on a hard surface.
These events are created by The Hanover Square Association & Updowntowners in cooperation with SSDS. Check out these pictures from 1999 and 2000 events.
