The Magic City Boppers organization was founded in Birmingham, Alabama on July 11, 1990. The group was formed to promote Birmingham's own dance, the Birmingham Bop. The dance is Birmingham's own version of a dance done throughout the nation and known by many names and danced many similar ways.
The Birmingham Bop involves partners touching, doing a repetitive step and a set of turns and spins unique to the dance. It's as smooth and graceful as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, with turns and spins added to make it as energetic as American Bandstand and MTV.

Since 1990, several changes have been implemented by this club, but one element has remained the same - "the promotion of the Birmingham Bop".

The club will meet each Thursday night at Gabriel's Cafe http://gabrielscafe.net/gabriels.swf , on Lorna Road and dancing starts at 7:00 PM.  Also, the club hosts a party each month at the Birmingham Firefighter's Hall, and our annual May "Hangout Weekend" in Panama City, Florida.
