North Omaha Music and Arts hosts free weekly gatherings with live band performances, followed by open sessions where all musicians, MCs, and vocalists are invited to participate or sit in.
At our sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other local artists who share your passion for music. Our live shows kick off the evening, setting the tone for a night of creativity and collaboration. After the show, we open up the floor for jam sessions, where you can showcase your skills and improvise with other talented musicians.

Mondays are devoted to jazz, and whether you’re a seasoned jazz player or just starting to explore the genre, our sessions are the perfect place to hone your skills and connect with other jazz enthusiasts.

On Wednesdays, we shift our focus to contemporary, cutting-edge music, providing a space for musicians and vocalists to explore and experiment with new sounds and styles.

Jitterbugs' Night Out
2028-07-28 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-07-21 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-07-14 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-07-07 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-06-30 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-06-23 20:00 - 23:59, 2028-06-16 20:00 - 23:59 | Eagles Ballroom, 201 S 24th St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Jitterbugs’ Night Out, or as we like to call it, JNO, has been home to Omaha Jitterbugs’ since 2001.
On average 130 people come to JNO each week, and it’s one of Omaha’s longest-running weekly events.
Masks are optional at JNO.
You don’t need to bring a partner. The weekly beginning dance lesson is from 8:15 – 9:00 and you can choose to rotate partners throughout the lesson or stick with the partner you came with. Then the DJ plays swingin’ tunes for social dancing from 9 p.m. until midnight, so ask people to dance! Check our calendar for nights with live music. Our instructors and DJs are volunteers with JIVE who have completed training.
Dressing sharp is encouraged! But you’ll see people in t-shirts, jeans, dresses, and suits. For special events and live music nights, people tend to dress nicer.
We’ve created a diverse and welcoming community: smoke-free, drug-free, and all ages are welcome. Children younger than 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Most nights more than 100 people attend. While the highest percentage of people attending are aged 19–39, dancers range from middle and high school students to retirees in their 70s and above. Check out our Code of Conduct.
You can bring in your own food and bottle for water. We provide free water because you WILL get thirsty. A full bar is available downstairs.
Join us for the Birthday Jam! After the announcements, around 10:15 pm, we gather in a circle on the dance floor and those who have a birthday (or graduation, or are newly engaged, or any special occasion!) stand in the middle. A song is played and different partners jump in to dance with you for a bit.
If you’d like to have a party during JNO, you are welcome! We suggest showing up at 8:00 pm if you need to set up a table for your party.
No party fees are charged.
For discounted entrance, learn about volunteering with JIVE!
