January:
6:40-7:40 pm, Beginner Swing: If you've never danced before then this is the class for you! We'll be covering a basic 6-count swing dance pattern. We'll then expand into turns and moves to help build up your vocabulary. The class will emphasize lead and follow connection/communication so that you can dance with anyone. No partner and previous dance experience is necessary. If you plan to attend, make sure to at least come to the first two lessons. Please wear comfortable clothes and flat soled shoes with little to no tread. You're sure to break a sweat.

Shoes for the modern swing dancer

Balancing form and function are essential to a swing dancer. For me, it's about looking and feeling great in your dance shoes. In the past ten years, I've gone through countless pairs of dance shoes and I've learned some things along the way.

What type of surface will you be dancing on?
