Swing I and II
Swing I focuses on beginner’s East Coast Swing and introduces strong lead and follow techniques that are useful in any dance style. For students who have never danced before, or want to brush up on the basics. This is a 3–week session, with Swing II following the next three weeks (take all 6 weeks for a complete block of Swing – and a slightly discounted price.)
Swing II is 3-week class, and a continuation of Swing 1, with a bonus introduction to the 8-count Lindy Hop. This is a great class for dancers who want to grasp the concepts of Lindy Hop and/or improve their lead and follow skills.

Did you know that we are Dayton Tony Award winners? Years ago, we performed in a USO stage show at the former Rising Phoenix Theater called “Taking Christmas to the Troops”. We built a dance team, choreographed the routines, and won Best Dance Ensemble.
