February 1, 2019Amazing lesson, professional service, great to work with!
My husband and I hired The Ladies & Gentlemen of Swingin' Denver to provide a lesson at our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team! Kenny and Jaimie provided our lesson and they got everyone on the dance floor. Kenny's lesson was easy to follow, he provided the playlist of music needed for our DJ, and he helped people to really feel comfortable getting into the groove of dancing. We had people of all ages at our wedding and everyone had a blast!
From the business side, Kenny was extremely professional, quick to respond to communication, and provided very fair pricing for the event. He was a joy to work with and I would absolutely hire again, without question.

January 12, 2019A big hit at our wedding!
Swinging Denver/The Ladies & Gentleman were the biggest hit at our wedding. Kenny & Jesse were so fun and truly made our wedding so much more memorable for our guests. They were professional, on time, and interactive. Our guests truly enjoyed learning 1920 style dance moves. We are still getting compliments about having this special activity as part of our wedding. I could not recommend them more strongly. Thank you, Kenny & Jesse!
