Less formal than a class, more practice-oriented than social dancing.
Sometimes classes go by too fast, and sometimes the social dance scene doesn't feel like the place to practice new things. The drop-in swing-shop is a place where you can practice moves, steps, and theory points with other swing dancers.
Just a few ideas for things we could be practicing together:
- Connection and frame
- Follow-lead dance conversations
- Flair
- Solo routines and steps (Shim Sham/Tranky Doo/etc.)
- Intermediate moves (Lindy Hop/Collegiate Shag/Charleston/etc.)
- Stealing in (e.g. practice for jam circles)
- Switching roles (follow if you lead, lead if you follow)
- Something cool you saw someone do on the dance floor
- More!
Sliding scale $1-10, contribute what you can. We want this practice space to be accessible, but also need to cover the cost of renting the room.
You will find us in the smaller "Bella" studio on the right when you walk in next to the bathrooms, instead of in the larger "Jade" studio where Monday Night Swing happens.
