SWING LESSONS

Swing Dance is a truly American dance style, with its origins in the swing jazz music of the 1920’s.  As American music has change, so has swing dancing.  As a result, there is a swing style for virtually any song and speed of music!

Through progressive lessons, we will get you dancing on the first day, and build a repertoire of moves and skills to dance the night away.   The lessons cover proper techniques, patterns, leading & following skills, in a comfortable and fun environment tailored for each class. No partner needed, we emphasize the social aspects of swing dancing and will regularly rotate partners throughout the class.

        This 5 week beginners series teaches you all the basics, focusing on the original swing dance the Lindy Hop while also covering Charleston and 6 count jitterbug.  Only know a few steps… never danced before… This is the class for you.

Lindy 2

        This 5 week series builds on the basics of the Lindy Hop with new moves and techniques.  If you've already completed our 5 week Lindy 1 series, this is the next step. And if you're new to SVSDS, but you already know swing outs, basic six count and basic side-by-side Charleston, then you're also good to go.
