General Info

 

  • In the swing and blues community, you don’t need a regular dance partner, as we swap partners in all the classes. It might take a bit of getting used to at first, but this way you’ll get to know lots of lovely people straight away and make rapid progress.
  • We have plenty of interesting figures, rhythms and steps in our teaching repertoire, but we also focus on technique. You won’t necessarily learn set sequences of figures, but rather the technique for leading and following any conceivable figure or step, even if you’ve never seen it before.
  • In our small class groups, you’ll receive plenty of attention and personalised feedback from the teachers.
  • We’re an open community that welcomes everyone, regardless of age, background or identity. We do not tolerate discrimination or disrespectful behaviour towards others. Dance roles are not gender-specific here. See also our Code of Conduct.
