Oddfellows & Rebekahs Independent Order of

Was visiting Santa Fe from Arizona on a Monday night. Read about beginner swing lessons for $ 8 a person for an hour. (Monday nights only! But they have other things or days, i think) It was an informal drop by at 7 for lessons or come at 8pm (and pay $ 3) –or just stay after the lesson at no extra cost for fun dance times. The two instructors were great. Pointed out tips and took each step one by one.
Came with my fiancé, but we rotated partners a lot because there were more leads than followers. I feel sorry for all the leads who had to come to me because I’m awfully uncoordinated and couldn’t figure out how to triple step while turning and couldn’t remember to rock step… But everyone, experienced and not experienced were super friendly and nice. Stayed in good spirits and just had fun.
It was fun practicing what we just learned at 8pm and also watching the experienced dancers have fun and dance the night away.

Odd Fellows Hall is definitely an excellent place to dance. Nice vibe, pleasant people, great floor, smoke-​free, alcohol-​free.
There are different groups who meet most days of the week:
There’s Swing dancing on Mondays — here’s the website for that
.; Folk Dancing on Tuesdays, Rueda on Fridays, Contra 2^nd & 4^th Saturdays, Folk & Israeli dancing on Sundays. Each of these events has instruction in the particular type of dancing.

What a great club! New Mexico Folk Music & Dance Society and FolkMADS meet at Oddfellows Hall on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe.
Traditional folkways figure large here. This little place serves as a venue for various types of cultural preservation. I cannot be more specific in this review; instead I will send you to the website of Oddfellows:
