Dance – Beginning SWING
An easy-going introduction to this energetic and expressive dance style. The first night covers basic 6-count steps and gets everyone started on the dance floor, adding one new move each week, using 8-count patterns. We progress slowly and spend a lot of time reviewing to provide a solid basis rather than know a lot of steps at the beginning.

Dance – Intermediate SWING
Add style to the basic movements. Learn to match your dancing to the spirit and mood of the music. Swing dancers center their movement lower than ballroom dancers and learning to manipulate this lowered axis, or fulcrum, is the basis for expression with Swing. Learn to manipulate this axis and have fun doing it.
