About the Class

About the Class

I teach an Eight Week Beginner Swing Dance Class, after which you can attend my eight week intermediate swing dance class to learn more advanced moves. The Beginner class is for complete beginners. If you have never taken a dance class in your life, you will find this class enjoyable and easy to follow. I am a very good instructor; the class progresses at just the right pace. I never go too fast, and we never move on until you fully have the steps. The class is cumulative, so each week we review the previous week's move, and then learn the new move, incorporating each new move onto a routine throughout the eight weeks. That way, each week you are reinforcing all the previous weeks' moves, and by the end of the eight weeks, you will be confident stepping out onto the dance floor.

Swing Dance Styles

Swing Dance Styles

In the Beginner class, you learn the basic Jitterbug, Whip, and Charleston. These three dances make up what is called Lindy Hop Swing. These are the styles you see in movies when dancers are swing dancing to big band music. We begin with Savoy Style Lindy, and then in the Advanced class we learn Smooth Style Lindy. All the Swing dance styles are interchangeable while you're dancing. These terms will make a lot more sense after you take the class and you learn the dance moves. In the meantime, all you have to know is that you are going to have a lot of fun and you will learn to dance really well.

Attendance

Attendance

This is an eight week cumulative class. We learn one new move each week, and incorporate all the moves into a routine which we practice each week, training your muscle memory so you learn the dance moves and so they stick. There are no "drop-ins" and no "dance cards". You register (below) and pay for the full eight week class. If you miss a lesson, there is no refund for that lesson, you simply attend the next lesson, where we will begin by reviewing the previous week's dance move in detail, so missing a lesson will not be a problem. Most people usually miss a lesson due to scheduling conflicts, and they pick it right back up the next week - this is normal.
