Social Dance: Swing   NEW!

It’s swing time! There are 13 different styles of swing. The two most popular forms (East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing) are all you need to enjoy, big band music, blues, country western or top 40 music. Swing is a truly American Dance created in the ‘30s by youthful dancers who had a lot of energy and no televisions. Today, swing is the most versatile form of dance for both young and old. It can be seen in almost any venue where music is being played. In this class, we explore the history, style, and variations of these two forms of swing and learn to dance them for our own enjoyment as well as the enjoyment of those who are just watching. If you have ever been confused by dance lessons, come and explore with us. We teach in a very clear method that students understand. This class includes a section on rhythm training and how to find the rhythm in the music. Class is specifically designed for the beginning dancer, but even more “experienced” dancers learn more about the basics and how to effectively dance with a partner and make it an enjoyable experience for both.

No prerequisite.
