Learn to swing dance every Wednesday night! We will be starting with the basics of Collegiate Shag at 7pm and Balboa at 8pm each week and then teaching something completely new! Both of these vintage swing dances are generally danced to faster tempos, so bring a water bottle, a sweat towel, and get ready to get some great exercise! We rotate partners during both lessons so you don't need to bring one, it's a great way to meet people, and a wonderful hobby that's builds your confidence. Come be a part of a wonderful dance community!
Here's a good example of really good Collegiate Shag:
