FAQs
Some frequently asked questions about group swing dance classes:
Is a partner required?
A partner is not required to come to any swing dance event whether it be a group class or a social dance. We have a welcoming, supportive community that will accommodate to the numbers.
What type of shoes do I need?
Shoes made for dancing are ideal for executing those sweet moves. Dance shoes will typically have some sort of sole such as raw leather or a synthetic suede that allows for sliding but yet has enough grip to not slip. Shoes that stick such as those with rubber soles may cause injuries and should be avoided.
What type of clothes should I wear?
You are welcome to dress up or down as you please to suit the mood. Just make sure that your clothes are breathable and comfortable to move around in as you break a sweat on the dance floor. Good hygiene is a plus for those who are dancing with you.
How long does it take to learn to swing dance?
The amount of time it takes to learn to swing dance depends on several factors such as how often you attend classes, your previous dance experience, and your style of learning. The basic moves of swing dancing take typically 1-2 months of weekly group classes to learn. It is highly recommended to supplement classwork by attending the social dances to build confidence and consistency in your beginner steps. For those who wish to progress at a faster pace, it is recommended to take private lessons.
What are the prerequisites for taking upper level classes?
Those interested in taking intermediate and advanced classes must be proficient in the basic moves of swing dancing and have a fundamental understanding of swing dance technique. Areas of knowledge for upper level classes include beginner dance steps, basic musicality, and basic connection techniques.
