BOSTON – More than 100 colleges and universities call the Hub home and while many students and young professionals spend time learning to Dougie or whip and nae nae in dance clubs, others find friends and have fun in the area's vibrant swing-dancing community.
The traditional dance form dating back to the early 20th century can be an eye-opener for newcomers unfamiliar with the culture.
BOSTON – The sun peeked through the windows as the sounds of classical piano gently filled the air. A 13-year-old black cat snoozed on a sofa, sharing the living room with guests who had come to the creaky old Jamaica Plain home to listen to music from 19th century composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert.
"It's a way to hear chamber music being played in an intimate setting," host Matt Gillman said to the assembled audience, who sat on the sofa and mismatched chairs in his living room on Saturday afternoon.
