Swing Dance is an umbrella term that covers a variety of dances, danced to swing music. This “Choose Your Own Adventure” workshop is a beginner-friendly sampler day designed to showcase the variety within swing dance. Students can explore different styles, learn from our team, and choose sessions that interest them. With multi-session discounts automatically applied, the more you dance, the more you save!

Each session will be pitched at a true introductory level, with no prior experience required. Ideal for complete beginners, anyone feeling rusty, or dancers wanting to try something new in a low-pressure setting.

LEAD OR FOLLOW: In most sessions^, we will be teaching partnered swing dances. You will be required to book as either a Lead or a Follow. The Lead “directs” the dance, indicating or instigating the moves and the direction. The Follow responds to the lead, interprets the moves, and has room to add personal styling/embellishments. Like jazz/swing music, it’s seen as a “call & response” partnership. Choose whichever role you wish. Yes, you can book for a different role in different sessions. Pair Passes are available (for 1 x Lead and 1 x Follow) for ease of booking, though we change partners throughout the workshop for a better learning experience.
^ The exception is the Shim Sham session – this is a solo dance, no lead/follow required, tickets will be sold as Admit One or Pair Pass (if you’re booking for you and a friend).
