Classes & Workshops
What class should I take?
Beginning Swing is different every month. You will learn swing dance footwork, rhythms and partner connection, and we will build your dance skills throughout the month. We encourage people to take these classes for 1-6 months.
Other classes expect you to be familiar with the skills learned in Beginning Swing. If you are not sure if you are ready for a class, check in with the instructor or email us to ask. Our other classes include a rotation of Lindy Hop Fundamentals, Continuing Lindy Hop and Special Topics (like Charleston, Collegiate Shag or Solo Jazz)
