Welcome to our dance floor on the internet...may I have the next dance. Here you'll find all the social happenings in the Boston Lindy Hop scene. FiveGuysNamedMike.org will provide you with everything you need to know to start hopping around Beantown. This page is intended as a social gathering place...think of it as a dance on the information super highway.

There are actually five of us, and besides all being named Mike, we dance Lindy Hop. Check out our old T-shirt design. Unfortunately, we don't have any more left but we are thinking of creating a batch of new ones with a brand new design, so stay tuned.

Over the summer three of us were lucky enough to see Ernestine Anderson live and even got a picture with her.

We organize dances on Monday and Thursday nights year round:

• Monday Night Lindy Hop Practice
• Thursday Night Stomp

and we help out with the bi-monthly Summer swing dance in Copley Square:

• Summer Sunday Copley Square Swing

So come by and check them out. You'll be hooked once you do.

And here's a calendar of when we actually have our dances. They're every Monday and first Thursday, except holidays. So if you're wondering if we're open for business, click below.

You can also catch a glimpse of us out on the town on any night of the week at some of our favorite hangouts in Boston. You may need to email us for details of when a specific dance is happening, as some dances run on very irregular schedules:

• Monday - our weekly Monday Night Practice session near Harvard Square,
• Tuesday - weekly West Coast Swing dance at the Elks Lodge in Arlington,
• Wednesday - weekly dance at MIT,
• Thursday - our newest dance, the "Stomp" in Arlington,
• Friday - weekly dance at Swing City, Newton and monthly at Blues Cafe, Medford
• Saturday - various monthly dances, check out the HaveToDance Calendar,
• Sunday - twice a month outdoor dance at Copley Square during the Summer.

And for you folks that just plain like to watch others, here's a look at pictures of some Boston Lindy Hoppers:
