Ever wonder what all the hubbub with swing dancing is all about? Swing dancing is a social partner dance most commonly done to the sounds of jazz, big band, and rockabilly. It's fun, easy, energetic, and versatile, with a healthy dose of goofy/crazy mixed in. This 50-minute class will teach you the basics of swing dancing and will show you how to have fun with it on the dance floor. No previous experience is necessary and you don't need to bring a partner. For more swing dancing, check out our Swing Dancing 102 class, which will build on the moves learned in this class, teach even snazzier moves, and provide you a chance to socialize/practice your dance moves.

This class builds upon the foundation of Swing Dancing 101. The first 30 minutes will teach snazzy moves that you can use to impress on the dance floor. For the last 1.5 hours, we will hold a dance with DJed music for you to practice the moves you've learned and for you to socialize with other students.
