Look you people,
You don’t realize how lucky you are that Jon Raabe is here in Taipei and is passionate about swing culture. He was a student of the great Frankie Manning. He is giving FREE swing dance lessons on Wednesdays at Capone’s and on Saturdays in CKS memorial hall. His band “Hellzapoppin’” is kick ass. They play at Capone’s on Wednesday. I went this Wednesday. There were like 6 girls dancing swing and 2 guys. I tried, but I suck. Anyways, just realize that a swing-dance scene is going down here in Taipei as it should in any cosmopolitan international city, and Jon Raabe’s giving free lessons which is fantastic and there are some local live bands that you can dance with: Hellzapoppin’, BoPoMoFo, and Muddy Water’s. So just like, realize that this is here for you. CLICK HERE FOR SWING info.
