New to Swing dancing? Been to a few drop-in lessons around town and looking for more? This is the class for you!

Designed as a 3-month series, each month-long session of Beginning Social Swing will focus on a slightly different aspect of what makes Swing so great. With its roots in Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, and Charleston, Swing dancing continues to steal hearts all over the world, and Portland is legitimately head over heels!

Here are the themes of each 4 week session:
Can be taken in any order

Footwork! Learn the 2 most commonly danced patterns and stuff that goes with them: rhythms, lead/follow skills, turns, and doing all that to a range of musical styles and tempos.

Movement! Create fluid and interesting sequences in your social Swing dancing by stacking your moves together like building blocks.

Swing it! Improvisation was a big part of that "new" Swing music sound, back in its time, and the dance still reflects that today. With proper connection we can spruce up our basics with simple variations. PSA: Here’s where you get cool, cat!
