Brooklyn Swings is a great chill place to learn Swing & Blues dances. These are Black American Culture Dances: Lindy Hop was made popular in Harlem, NY, Blues dances started in the South and ALL are danced all over the world today. We have locations in Prospect Heights, Williamsburg and Gowanus at this very Gemini & Scorpio Loft. We've been going for about 13 years offering weekly classes, private lessons, wedding lessons, dance events and invited to many private events. Wanna dance? p.s. we're dancers not swingers.
GEMINI & SCORPIO LOFT:

G&S Loft is a private 5k sq ft party space, with lots of couches, vintage maximalist decor, and a jungle-themed bar. Lots of room to dance on the original wood floors, and plenty of seats for taking your breaks. Tall stage and powerful sound system ensure great sights and sounds, while the bar is always quiet enough for a chat.
