Swing Dance Lesson
Swing dancing is a type of partnered dance that originated in African American communities during the 1920s and 30s and encompasses a group of different dances including Lindy hop, Charleston and Balboa. A six or eight count footwork basic is used as the general idea, but we love how improvisational and relaxed this dance is!
Our classes include a beginner lesson and an intermediate lesson, and some social dancing time. Everyone is welcome, no prior dancing experience is required to come along to the beginner lesson. You can wear whatever is comfortable for you, whether that's sportswear and trainers or vintage style swing clothing. You don't need to bring a partner with you as we will be rotating throughout. It's a great way to meet new people; our class is super relaxed and friendly!
