More About Swing Dance Wednesday Night Twin Cities
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 bands, and for 14 years we hosted our swing dance night at Lee's.
