New to swing dancing? Come and see what you're missing!
Energetic. Playful. Creative. At Swing Shift we teach authentic Lindy Hop, true to its roots as an African American art form that’s over a century old. This partner dance isn’t about learning fixed sequences of moves – it’s about creating momentum, and sensing and responding in real time. And the soundtrack? Banging jazz tunes all the way. Get ready to enter a whole new world of self expression.
No partner needed. Open to total beginners.
In this beginner course, you'll learn:
- Triple steps, step steps and rock steps
- Eight count, six count or Charleston rhythms
- The basics of lead and follow
- Secrets of improvisational partner dancing
- Solo jazz moves to spice things up
- Drills and exercises to get you feeling the groove
- A classic move or two that will get you zipping around the floor
- And lots lots more
