We have been doing the salsa nights for almost two years. But in March of last year it became real popular and it continues to grow. Swanson said that the newest theme night has yet to be decided but whatever it turns out to be, it will be original and fresh. Other clubs are trying the salsa thing and it's not working for them. Ladies like to put on dresses and the guys like to wear slacks and nice shirts and have a dress-up night.
People like to look nice when they go out.
The Graduate even caters to the under-21 crowd, which is something that its downtown counterparts usually do not do. People that are really into the dancing are sometimes under 21. We aren't going to kick someone out if they are under 21 on a dance night. College-aged dancing gets the biggest variety of people. For swing dancing there are too many lessons.
