Each week, Jackalope Ranch brings you a free event, workshop, or you-name-it happening in Phoenix. Because sometimes the best things in life really are free. This week's freebie: First Friday Sock Hop

If you've had enough bumping and grinding on the dance floor and find yourself reminiscent of a time that was way before your own, the Arizona Lindy Hop Society has you covered.

Every first Friday of the month, the Arizona Lindy Hop Society invites community members to partake in some retro reveling at the 5 & Diner in Phoenix. Swing dance to the tunes of rockabilly bands including the Moonlight Howlers, playing this Friday, January 4.

The music kicks off at 6 p.m. and the free swing dancing lessons start at 7 p.m.. Guests are encouraged to wear their vintage best and if possible, drive it too. Anyone driving a car older than 1972 to the event will receive 50 percent off a 5 & Diner meal.

For more information visit the Arizona Lindy Hop Society online or like them on Facebook.
