Best place to take your grandmother dancing: Midtown Stomp

Kids these days. With their cat daddies and their werk twerks, you'd think that classy dancing had all but died. But not so fast, old sport! There's still Midtown Stomp—the ideal place to fulfill all your jitterbugging and Lindy Hopping desires. Each Friday night, hundreds flock to the dance floor to jive the night away, listen to live music from touring swing acts, and relive the glory days when ducktails and poodle skirts freely roamed the Earth. Advanced and beginner lessons are available for both lone drifters and groups. Getting married? Take a wedding-dance lesson, and wow the crowd on your big day. 915 Fourth Street, (916) 221-1500; midtownstomp.com.
