An update re: the status of Doghouse's Thursday night events
(below is archived copy)
One of San Francisco's oldest swing dance events - the 9:20 Special - was revived as The Doghouse ©! We brought back classic old & new school Lindy Hop, classes, social dance & music to the Russian Center on Thursday nights from April 2024 through Feb 2025.
From mid-2025 onwards, we now host pop-up swing dance events in & around SF - join our mailing list to learn about our upcoming events!

What are we doing?
The Doghouse brought Swing Dance & Lindy Hop back to The Russian Center (2450 Sutter St in San Francisco) on Thursday nights from 2024 through early 2025.
We brought all the things you'd want at our social dances, from classes with great instructors to premiere DJs and special showcases. We brought people together to dance with friends - old and new - on some of the smoothest floors in the West. The Doghouse was modeled upon one of the "og" dance events in San Francisco, the revered 920 Special.
The Doghouse is organized by Two Dogs Barking Inc, a 501(c)3 nonprofit; our goals include:
Serve the swing dance community with fun, inclusive programming that welcomes innovation and highlights historical Lindy Hop roots
Help Bay Area Lindy Hop become a self-perpetuating scene for future generations
Support local dance & music talent
