Dance the night away with the Omaha Jitterbugs. The Jitterbugs is a nonprofit that provides swing dance lessons and hosts weekly Jitterbugs’ Night Out social dances for all ages at the Eagles Ballroom in downtown Omaha, among other things.

Special thanks to Lindsay Sobczyk for speaking with me and for attempting to teach me how to swing dance.
