We regularly offer classes on Thursday evenings focused on Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Blues, and Solo Jazz!
No partner needed, we will pair up and rotate in class.
Our class series are progressive, because of this, we only allow drop-ins in the first two weeks.
We highly encourage you to retake class series to strengthen and refine your dance skills. It can be beneficial to retake classes as content covered can vary! Different instructors as they all teach a different set of moves and can explain concepts differently. Not only that, but It also is a great opportunity to learn the opposite dance role.

Swing Practice Sessions
Cost: Sliding scale, $5 suggested
Upcoming Dates: August 8 & 25
Join us on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month (times vary) for an open swing practice.
This is an open space for dancers to come with ideas to play around with, or go with the flow and experiment and practice. We will have music playing suitable for all swing styles, so come share, dance, and collaborate with others.
Keep in mind that this is not a class, so do not expect anyone to guide or instruct you. There will some more experienced dancers around, and you are welcome to ask them for feedback and tips if they are open to it.
No need to come with a partner, it is open to swing dancers of all levels, whether you take classes with us or not!
These practices have a pay-what-you-can model, with a suggested donation of $5. Those who are able are welcome to give a little extra to support the space and community, but please don’t let it stop you from coming!
