The CMU Ballroom club opinion...
The Edgewood Club has Swing dancing with a live band and instruction.
Both couples and singles of all ages are welcome. There are both advanced
and newcomers there, and an entire spectrum in between.
From Pittsburgh via Penn Avenue: Go east on Penn Av across Braddock Av into Wilkinsburg. About five blocks past Braddock is a McDonald's. Just past the McDonald's (but before going under the bridge), turn right onto Pennwood. Continue about 3/4 mile along Pennwood through two stoplights. The Edgewood Club is one block past the second light.
From Downtown Pittsburgh via Parkway East (I-376): Go east through the Squirrel Hill Tunnels to Exit 9. Take the Edgewood branch (left) of the exit around a curve. Stay in the right lane as you pass under the bridge; then veer right onto Greendale Av. [Skip the next paragraph.]
From Monroeville or Forest Hills via Parkway East (I-376): Take Exit 9 (just before the Squirrel Hill Tunnels) to the stoplight on Braddock Av. Turn right at the stoplight, go about one block on Braddock (stopping just short of an overpass), and turn right again onto Greendale Av.
About three blocks along Greendale Avenue (through residential Edgewood), you'll come to a three-way fork: take the rightmost fork onto Race St. After another block or so, Race crosses Pennwood at a stoplight. At the light, turn right one block to the Edgewood Club.
