Friday swing-dancing at the Turnverein is a great time, with a $5 beginner lesson and $10 intermediate lesson at 7 p.m. The dance itself is only $10 and lasts from 8-11.

It's located right next to the police station, so the area feels safe. They have a parking lot attached to the building, and it's very well-lit. The building itself is historic and lovely.

The dance floor is smooth, level, huge, and covers two floors. They have excellent air conditioning. Their DJs are outstanding, and they sometimes have live bands.

They have a hilarious, salty, cool bartender who mixes drinks like a pro, with all kinds of non-alcoholic options as well. Bar prices are really low.

The instructors are outstanding, and the dancers are uniformly kind. All ages and ability levels are warmly welcomed.

If you're not at the Turnverein on a Friday night, I honestly feel you're missing out.

Great dance venue. Large hardwood floor in perfect condition. West coast lesson and dance afterwards was great fun. Good crowd, excellent host and pretty good bar selection. Acoustics for DJ were very good as well. Overall a very good experience.
