This is the dance from which much of the Baltimore Lindy Hop scene was built before the Ballroom even existed, and it’s still one of our favorite nights of the week. Where Fridays are crazy and often packed, Mondays are more intimate and welcoming. Some of our best dancers prefer a little extra space and room for conversation.
The kitchen and bar open at 7 for those of you who’d like to snag something to eat and drink. From 8-9, we have a drop-in beginner lesson (no partner or experience required) and from 9-late we dance.
$10 at the door. We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and the like.
