Rundown of Halloween Swing Parties in NYC (updated)

Posted on October 27, 2009 by

I plan on again rocking the Halloween Parade as a zombie with the
gigantic Thriller group.
But afterwards I'm going to want to get some
more dancing on.

This Halloween there is a huge assortment of swing dancing parties going on all over the city. Which is awesome! Here's a quick rundown of what I know about going on this weekend:
