WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT RUSTY'S RHYTHM CLUB
LETTERS FROM DANCERS
Yelp Review ~ 6/23/2011 from Kimberlee Vander Most
I adore Rusty's Rhythm Club!!!
I came one fateful Wednesday night attempting to fulfill a New Year's resolution -- finally try swing dancing after years of "what if's" and "if only's". I'm not the most coordinated of people, but I thought I'd jump in and give it a whirl...if just for a night. (I write this now 2 months into lessons)
You see all levels of dancing and all age ranges at the Club - which is part of why I love it so much. The complementary beginners lesson really does teach you the very basics you need to know to dance through a song and have some fun doing it. And you'll be surprised by how much you learn just getting out there and dancing with the regulars - who are not only amazing dancers, but so friendly and happy to dance with the newbies.
The crowd is really so incredibly polite and friendly. It is just such a unique venue where a group of people from all walks of life get together to just plain enjoy such a fun dance and great music. Rusty always has an incredible live band lined up - I don't know how she does it, but I'm enjoying it for sure!
For some housekeeping details:
$15 cover. Cheap drinks if you need to take an edge off. Plenty of parking behind the Elks Lodge.
Go just once and I'll bet you'll want to be one of Rusty's students :) That's what happened to me! :)

My first night here I had so much fun, I signed up for Swing Dance lessons the very next day!
Every Wednesday (and one Friday a month) Ms Rusty Frank transforms the Playa Del Rey Elk's Lodge into a Swingin' Dance Club.
For a mere $15 you can dance to some of the best live swing bands. Cover includes a complementary beginners lesson before the band starts. The bar is inexpensive. Ample free parking behind the club.
Full range of dancing levels from "I saw it in a movie once" to "dancing for 50 years." There's a very casual atmosphere. Everyone is so nice and approachable. Even strangers will ask each other to dance. All this adds to making you feel welcome. I think it's the friendliest swing club in LA.
I've been going for a few months now and every night here has been STELLAR!

This place is the best! The people who go there are so welcoming and friendly. Rusty is just the greatest, if you have questions she is always there to answer them. After finding this place I started taking lessons with Rusty at her Lindy By the Sea classes in El Segundo. I would say it's one of the best experiences I had living in LA.

You have a wonderful crowd that frequents your club and for whatever reason (could it be the gal in charge setting the tone?) your club is one of the friendliest places to dance. I'm sure you've heard that, and if you haven't, then you need to know that I've heard it said several times. So, there's one for you!
Hoping to be there next week and make up for lost time and dances!

I've danced at a lot of places... nothing compares to Rusty's Rhythm Club. It really is a home away from home. Where everyone knows everyone. No attitudes. It's simply pure joy and fun! Thank you, Rusty, for providing such a wonderful home for all of us swing dancer!

Just wanted to thank you for a most enjoyable evening at the Wed. night Swing Dance. The lesson was fun, the music great, and everyone was so welcoming. Its nice to know "Southern Hospitality" is alive and well in California. I hope to come back and take a lesson or two.
All the best
