Monday Night Swing & Lindy Hop
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.

The Baltimore Irish Music Festival is being kicked off by a a welcome Ceili!
From your hosts: “We're excited to start the weekend with a ceili and a few tunes! Join us for our 2026 welcome ceili from 7-10pm called by Megan Downes with music provided by Billy McComiskey and Jeannette Manseau (box); Jessica Zito, Kate Knudsvig, and Keira Noonan (fiddle); Seamus Noonan (flute); Matt Mulqueen (piano); Simon Lace (drums) and YOU! Band is pick-up and musicians are welcome to sit and play. No experience necessary, dances will be taught.”
There will be a session to follow, and all musicians present are invited to sit and play a few tunes at Mobtown Ballroom. Some of our Trad Fest instructors will be present, so this is a great time to meet them and get a tune. Weekend participants can pick up their packets during the dance or at the session.
The bar will be open!
Tickets: $20 for single tickets. Included in the weekend pass.
