SWING Dance:
BEGINNER classes in athens
FACTORY STREET STUDIO ~ 37 Ohio AVE, Athens
💃 tuesdays, 6:30 - 7:30
SIX WEEK SERIES: BEGINS TUESDAY, SEPT 1
In our beginner Swing dance class, beginners are taken care of, with no dancer left behind. 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, Charleston, Blues, and more, as well as classic solo jazz routines like the Shim Sham.
Learn dance steps, movement technique, and the fundamentals of 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.

PRIVATE LESSONS
Try a private dance lesson in any styles I teach. My approach is student-centered, patient, and fun.
All abilities, bodies, and genders are welcome. Absolute beginners, and wedding couples, are especially celebrated.
Keep it casual or train to perform:
Set your own goals
Dance for fun, exercise, or community — or learn choreography and train to perform locally or internationally.
