From Shy Steps to Show-Stopping Styles:

Don't worry if you have two left feet. Our beginner classes are designed for absolute newbies, welcoming you with open arms (and plenty of patience!). We'll start with the fundamentals, breaking down those rock steps, triple steps, and fancy footwork into easy-to-follow chunks. Soon, you'll be seamlessly weaving them together into smooth sequences and dazzling moves.

But Hold Onto Your Partner! (Or Find One!)

Swing dance isn't just about the steps, it's about connection and communication. We'll guide you through the essential roles of lead and follow, teaching you how to work together like a well-oiled machine (on the dance floor, at least!). And no one gets left out! We'll rotate partners throughout the class, giving you the chance to mingle, laugh, and discover the joy of social dancing. You might even find your new favorite twirling partner along the way!

Learning from the Legends:

We believe in learning from the best. That's why we regularly introduce material from renowned Shag dancers like Sam and Lisa West and others so that we can share their expertise and passion. You'll get to absorb the moves, soak up the tips, and experience the pure joy of dancing.

Shine on the Dance Floor, Own the New You:

This isn't just a class, it's a springboard to a whole new world of dance floor fun! By the end of the 6-week program, you'll be confidently showcasing your moves at socials, parties, and maybe even those magical celebrations. Think dizzying turns, playful kicks, and smooth spins – all mastered with a smile and a touch of swingin' style!

More Than Just Steps:

Our classes are about more than just learning the choreography. They're about building confidence, embracing the social scene, and discovering the joy of movement. We create a safe and supportive environment where you can let loose, express yourself, and make lifelong friends who share your passion for swing.

So, are you ready to swap your wallflower status for swing star? Join us for this incredible adventure and watch yourself transform from a hesitant beginner to a confident dancer, ready to take on any dance floor!
