My boyfriend and I signed up for this class. Although it's later than we'd like (9pm - Mon), it's still fun. We like the small class size and the friendly staff. We also like that there is plenty of free parking near the entrance and that the location is easy to find.Written on Mar 02 2010

I signed up for this class with my boyfriend. I signed up with him because I was looking forward to learning swing TOGETHER, not with complete strangers. I understand the idea of constantly rotating partners, but I was very annoyed that I was only able to 'practice' with my boyfriend once the entire night. Not cool. I called the place and while they said it was completely ok if I opt out of the gigantic rotating circle of partners, I didn't want to be the only couple doing that and therefore feel out of place and kind of snobby. Wish I could have gotten my money back since I was disappointed with the setup. If you're single, then I highly recommend it. If you're wanting to dancing with strangers, then go for it. But overall, I felt like I could find some better dance lessons in the city and ones that my partner and I could partake in TOGETHER.Written on Jan 22 2010

It was pretty basic but it was a large group with different levels of previous dance experience so we all had to start from square one. I think that this class will take me where I want to go, though. Everyone was friendly. I did not feel uncomfortable even though I was probably the oldest person there. All ages mingled well.Written on Sep 17 2009

Description
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, and you will rotate partners throughout the class.
