💃 DROP-IN CLASSES, CHECK CALENDAR FOR DATES
In our all-levels swing dance classes, beginners are taken care of, and more advanced dancers are challenged. We meet each student where they’re at, with differentiated instruction. All abilities, bodies, and genders are welcome.
Have fun learning the fundamentals of partnered Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing (Jitterbug), Charleston, Balboa, Blues, and more, as well as classic solo jazz routines like the Shim Sham.
Learn dance steps, styling, and technique, as you refine your partner-dance connection. Take home video recaps of choreographies to practice, and a Spotify playlist of songs that are “in the pocket” as we say.
No need to bring a partner, although you’re welcome to. Those who arrive solo will rotate frequently with others; those arriving as a couple can choose to practice outside the rotation, or may join the rotation and dance with others. Choose to lead, follow, or both.
