OUR FOCUS - YOUR GOALS

Swing Dance is a fun, playful partnered dance that grew from its roots in the ballrooms of Harlem in the 1920's to its current status as a popular, original American social dance. Its many styles and forms reflect its colorful history of development across the country and through several eras. Our classes focus on Lindy Hop, the original form danced in the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, and East Coast (6-count) Swing, which today is the most prevalent form and the most adaptable to different swing music styles including Big Band, Jump Blues, early Rock'n'Roll, Cajun, Country Western and more. For you as a social dancer, we want you to attain the ability to go out on the social dance floor with comfort and confidence, to enjoy the dance with any number of different partners, and to have a great time. We focus our classes not only on learning lots of fun moves, but also on building strong social lead-&-follow skills, learning good movement and partnering techniques, styling, and dancing to the music.

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE OF LEARNING

WEEKLY Classes: These are 6 week sequential classes. Classes are and hour and 20 minutes. You need to make the commitment to attend each class or you will miss important material and it will be difficult to keep up with the group.

PRIVATE OR SEMI PRIVATE LESSONS: One or two couples may share an hour lesson. Great for focusing on a special need (such as a wedding dance), for coaching to make you a better dancer or to learn at your own pace and your own time.

"FAST TRACKS": These are workshops/ intensives usually 2 to 2 1/2 hours long. For those who like to learn at a fast pace. Fast Track" WORKSHOPS/INTENSIVES several times a year in other popular forms of swing dancing and related dances i.e.; Bop, Imperial, Shag, Balboa, Boogie Woogie, Push/Whip/West Coast, etc.

While the majority of our members are social dancers, we also have a performing group "Swing Fever". "Swing Fever" demonstrates the evolution of swing from the Strut and Cakewalk of the 1900's, Charleston and jazz of the 1920s, the LindyHop of the "30s and 40’s through the Rock and Roll of the "50s , and the Jump Jive of the 90’s Swing Renaissance and is available for shows, parties and performances. Teachers are also available for your event or club.
