Where to find Push events

Going for the first time
Swing nights typically open with a beginner lesson. Partners rotate during class, so you don't need to bring one. Smooth-soled shoes help; suede if you want to invest. Music ranges from 1925 jazz to modern blues depending on the organizer.
Ask anyone, thank everyone, refill the dance floor between songs. The community travels — exchanges and weekenders are common follow-ups once you're hooked.
