Dirty Dancing. You’ll get an Alamo champagne glass and free bubbly pour when you attend the screening for this iconic flick on Monday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $21.09.

Swing Night
As more venues reopen, you’ll have more chances to really get back into the swing of things.

The next South Central Swing Night happens on Wednesday, May 12, when lessons start at 7 p.m. and the dancing starts at 8 p.m. There’s a $10 cover.
