Let's get you out on the dance floor!

In this class you'll learn the basics of swing dancing.  You'll get moving to big band and swing music, learn how to communicate through lead and follow connection and get lots of practice with 6 count footwork.  This class is great for beginning level swing students with any amount of experience (or no experience).  We'll make sure to do something a bit different than last month so there will be something new for repeating students too!

This is a series class.  Please plan to start November 5th and come the whole month! No partner necessary.
