Join us to learn swing dancing! Invite your friends and try something new! (Perfect for anyone with "2 left feet" and "no rhythm"!)
Winchester Swing Dance is hosting a swing dance lesson from 7:00 - 7:30 pm, followed by open social dancing from 7:30 - 9:00 pm.
The lesson will be geared toward beginners. We plan to cover the 6-count footwork and a couple of moves to get you started! For folks who have been dancing a while or who already know the basic, we will try to add a new move to help you progress and keep things interesting, if there's time.
The social dancing portion is unstructured. We will play a variety of swing music that you can dance to (old and new music).
The lesson and social dancing will be held in the Collaboratory, in Shenandoah University's Hazel Pruitt Armory (also known as the HIVE). This building has large windows. It is the first building to the left of the main campus entrance.
Parking is available on site. 608 Millwood Ave, Winchester, VA.
Our building is next to the business building. You can park in that lot as well, but our dance is NOT in the business building (Halpin Harrison Hall).
This event is open to SU students, faculty, and staff, as well as the general public (e.g., Winchester community). Adults 18 years or older.
For SU students, this event counts for BTC credit. You must attend and participate in the lesson, then stay until 8 pm. Check in and out with the QR code at the event.
No experience and no partner necessary! Come learn something new and have fun while doing it!
