Swing 1 Series (5 weeks)
Fall lesson series 2024 coming soon!
This is a lesson series designed for brand new beginners and people interested in developing their technique.
Our Swing 1 Series is the place for complete beginners who have no experience and feel like they have two left feet! You will learn partner dancing fundamentals and fun swing dance moves that will surely impress your friends!
Partner dancing can seem daunting and a bit scary, but we guarantee that you will develop confidence on the dance floor and have a great learning experience. Our teachers and our dance community believe that anyone can learn and enjoy dance. We aim to foster a welcoming and inclusive community, and we would love to share with you our passion for vintage jazz music, dance, and culture.
This 5-week series offers much more than the beginner drop-in lessons. You will learn the essential technique, rhythm, and moves that are iconic to swing dancing: Each lesson builds on the previous lesson, and the instructor caters to the class skill level. If you want to invest your time really getting to know this dance, then this series is for you!
