This class is for the true beginner—no experience and no partner necessary. The class will introduce the concepts of leading and following as well as the basic rhythm and turns of 6-Count Swing. The instructors will present the material at a moderate pace, quick enough to keep it moving and slow enough to allow plenty of practice time. This is a series of 4 classes.

Hi, How Are You!!

This is a great opportunity for couples to try something new or for singles to meet some really interesting and fun individuals. I had a blast and felt as though I really learned a lot for my first time.

More Details About This Event:

Swing music is invigorating and the dance is captivating, but to the beginner, the scene is often intimidating. Big City Swing's instructors have the talent, experience and sense of humor to make the dance accessible to everyone. They teach their students how to truly enjoy the music and dance with confidence.

If you've never taken a dance class before, this is a great place to start.

You will rotate partners throughout the class so you will dance with everyone.

Please wear comfortable clothing and soft-soled shoes. All students are advised to select shirts with sleeves and shoes with a closed back (no mules or flip-flops).

About Big City Swing:

Julee Mertz discovered the small Lindy Hop scene in Chicago in 1997. Instantly hooked by the music, the sense of community and the energy of the dance, her adored hobby fast became a full time job

Having traveled the country to learn from the best, Julee now travels herself, teaching the dances of the swing era. Known for her dynamic styling and musicality, she has been a featured instructor at many workshops across the country and around the world.

In September of 2001, Julee was asked to join the cast of "Swing! The Original Broadway Musical" and toured nationally from Sept 2001 to February 2002. After completing the tour, she was asked to return to NYC to train the next touring cast of "Swing!".

Back in Chicago, Julee has formed a collective of the most talented dancers and teachers in the city. The troupe teaches and performs Swing and Lindy Hop at schools, festivals, corporate and city sponsored events. Julee and members of Big City Swing have also been seen on stage and screen...
