Swing outs, sugar pushes, quick stops, oh my! Join us every 1st and 3rd Friday night for our swing dance where top flight djs will bring you the hard swinging music and soulful tunes adored by swing dancers around the world.

Workshop: Charleston 101

Learn the dance that eventually became the Lindy Hop! Charleston is an African American vernacular jazz dance. It was done to both Ragtime and Traditional Jazz music that embodied quick, syncopated rhythms and improvised steps taken from several African dances. Students will learned the partnered form of Charleston, as well as several moves and stylings.

Prerequisites: Comfortable doing 6-count Lindy Hop basics.
