Swing Dance Wednesdays began in 2005 when musician and Lee's booking agent, Greg Huff asked us to bring swing dancing back to the iconic Lee's Liquor Lounge on Wednesday nights. Later Bill and I began booking the swing bands, and for 14 years we hosted our weekly dance night at Lee's until its closing in 2019. Since then, the Eagles #34 has been home to Swing Dance Wednesday Night Twin Cities.  

​

We feature live dance-friendly music in a variety of genres including traditional jazz, hot club, jump, blues, big band swing, 1950s rock& roll, honky-tonk, western swing and more.
