Who said you can’t do swing dancing in Beijing? 💃🎵

As a former Lindy Hopper, nothing beats a swing dance party to feel connected and refreshed in a new city! 😊

Beijing has quite a large swing dance community, and several international swing dance festivals are held by local studios each year. 👏

But for travelers, a drop-in social dance party might be the best option. So… 😏

Here is your day-by-day guide to swing dancing in Beijing:
