What is Swing Dancing?
‘Swing dancing’ is Black American art form that originated in Harlem, New York, in 1928. It’s an umbrella term for a family of dances that are done to swinging Jazz music. Learn more about it here.
The Beginner Lesson will teach 6-count Lindy Hop (the original Swing dance), sometimes referred to as Jitterbug or East Coast Swing.
Who can attend?
This is an all ages event. The goal for this is event is to be an intergenerational event. Feel free to bring the whole family, we want people of all ages to feel welcome. Parents are responsible for their own kids!
Babies on the Move!
Everyone can help out by keeping an extra eye on where you’re stepping for all the young ones in the space! Likewise if you're dancing with (or around) someone who is baby-carrying, please be mindful and give them a wide berth (pun intended lol).
