The 9:20 Special is San Francisco's premiere swing dance venue that has been a staple of the San Francisco dance scene since 1998. Originally started by internationally renowned Lindy Hop instructors Paul and Sharon as a practice party for their students, The 9:20 quickly evolved into the most popular spot to go dancing in the Bay Area. Today The 9:20 Special regularly draws crowds of 150-200 dancers each week and is known as one of the most friendly, fun, and welcoming dances in the Bay Area. Not to mention, one of the best places to take classes as well!
