CLASSES 2021-2022
During class we explore a wide variety of swing dances, such as lindy hop, Charleston, authentic jazz, balboa, shag etc. We also offer private lessons. There is a waiting list for all levels. We allow 1-3 extra followers/leads per level (depending on level and class size), but you may still end up on the waiting list. Please note that couples (dance partners signing up for the same level) are given a spot before single leads/followers.
