    Folks from the community gather for an evening of dance and fellowship. Lessons are provided and a DJ is included!  Phil and Tandy Malinak, Swing Dancing Hosts.  Now on the second Saturday of each month beginning October 2010.  Come join us for this free, once-a-month Saturday night event hosted by a dancing couple from First Free, and DJ'ed by people from the vibrant swing dance community of Chicago. Our downstairs fellowship hall is transformed for the evening into a dance lounge with soft lights; plenty of floor-space; and exciting Blues, Big Band, and Jazz tunes.

    An introductory lesson in Swing is given from 7pm-7:30pm, and the dance lasts until 10pm. We welcome all ages, and can set aside a separate space for younger children if safety is an issue, but please be aware that we do expect parents to continue to be responsible for their children at all times. Feel free to join us at any time during the evening, with or without a dance partner - You can always find someone to dance with while you're here!

    Whether you're looking for love or just want to get out of the house and meet some fresh faces, you should come to one of United Singles dances/socials at the Knights of Columbus at 100 S. 129th Infantry Drive in Joliet. They meet twice a month on Sundays from 7-10pm and dance and talk the night away. You'll even hear a few of the tables laughing out loud.
