New to Swing dancing? Been to a few drop-in lessons around town and looking for more? This is the class for you! It’s designed as a 3-month series (taken in no particular order), each month-long session focusing on a slightly different aspect of what makes this dance so great. With its roots in Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, and Charleston, Swing dancing continues to steal hearts all over the world.
Join the fun!

 

Here are the themes of each session:

1. Footwork - Learn the most commonly danced patterns and the goods that go with them: rhythms, lead/follow skills, turns, and doing all that to a range of musical styles and tempos.

2. Movement - Create fluid and interesting sequences in your social swing dancing stacking moves together like building blocks.

3. Jazz it up - Improvisation is a key element of Swing and Jazz music, and dancers take note! With proper connection and a little new vocabulary, we can spruce up our basics with some cool outside-of-the-box ideas.

  • No partner required, but recommended. Masks and Vaxxed only.
