\n
It\u2019s that time of year when our classes pivot a little and we start teaching Christmas routines. It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to really drill down on your dancing, and be part of a super fun journey. Routine classes will be run as drop-in sessions (no pre-booking) but the classes will close to new students in the last few weeks, so that everyone can focus together on polishing what they’ve learned.\u00a0

Why routines?<\/strong>
Learning a routine helps you develop social dancing skills, practise transitioning between rhythms, and deepen your understanding of musicality and the flow of movement. It’s also heaps of fun as you work with your classmates and teachers toward a common goal and create something special.

Perform the routine at the Swing Patrol Christmas Party<\/a>, on 6 December, or just learn for fun and camaraderie, to challenge yourself, and to further your skills. Performing isn’t mandatory, but there’s an undeniable adrenalin rush when you strut your stuff in front of an audience, and a crowd of swing dancers is about the most supportive audience you can find.
