Dances
Never been to a swing dance? Well, you’re missing out on a fabulous evening out! Come alone, with a partner, or a group of friends—it really doesn’t matter because you’ll soon find yourself dancing with everyone there.
Swing dancers tend to be an exceptionally friendly group of people on the whole, and it won’t take long before you’re one of us. All of our dances are preceded by a lesson; on Thursdays, the Bread & Butter Jam follows our weekly class series, and on Saturdays, we start the evening with a total beginner lesson, so we’ll have you up and dancing even if this is your very first swing dance. After all, it’s hard to sit still once the music comes on!
