What to Expect
No Partner Needed
Most people come solo! We rotate partners throughout class so you get experience dancing with different people.
Zero Experience Required
Group beginner classes start from the absolute basics. You'll learn the fundamental steps, how to connect with a partner, and basic musicality. Everyone starts somewhere. We've got you.
What to Wear
Comfortable clothes you can move in. For shoes:
- Smooth-soled shoes that can slide (leather-soled dress shoes, dance sneakers)
- Avoid rubber-soled sneakers—they stick to the floor and can hurt your knees
- When in doubt, wear what’s comfortable, and we’ll help you figure out the rest
Welcoming Community
Swing dancing is social. You'll meet people, make friends, and become part of a community that loves to dance and support each other.
