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.
Here you can discover the person you always knew you could be, enriched with the knowledge of dance history/context, and making long lasting friendships…all while improving your health.
You do not need any prior experience nor do you need to bring a partner (*actually, post COVID you need one, but we can help you find one). Just bring your smile and feet and everything in between.
Whether east coast, west coast, or some Jitterbug, you will learn to swing the night away.
Want to enter a competition or just learn a few basic dance steps, it is our pleasure to help you become the kind of dancer you wish to be.
Swing is a carefree and joyous dance that became popular in the 1940's.  It is danced to up-tempo music from Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and 50's style  rock and roll, to bands playing in  today's current Los Angeles swing dance scene.
This class will explore the basics of west coast swing, touching on connection, rhythm, and the most crucial foundations of the dance. Great for beginners and returning dancers.
Latin style includes such dances as Swing, Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Samba, Cha Cha, and Rumba. These energetic dances are a great source of cardio. They will allow you to improve your physical shape by enjoying the dynamic rhythms.
