In the Intermediate Swing Dance Class you will learn a fun and challenging routine. We will use the routine as a framework to take your dancing to the next level in terms of partnering, individual styling, rhythm and groove.

WHAT HAPPENS AT SOCIALS:

•  Ask anyone and everyone to dance. All experience levels very welcome. It's exciting to get  to dance with different people each night. If someone is tired or chatting with a long lost friend they might say "no thanks" but most of the time if you ask the answer will be an enthusiastic "yes please".

•  Classic routines. There are a number of dance routines such as the Shim-Sham, Tranky Do, Big Apple, Stew that were choreographed by some of the original dancers. Many people who are dancing for a while know these fun routines. Feel free to join in if you know the moves or just have fun trying to copy what the person next to you is doing.

•  Jams and dance battles. These are a key part of the origins and culture of swing dancing and swing music. It's a way for community members to share moves, rhythms, inspiration, energy and to show support for one another. So if you see a circle forming on the dance floor get closer and join in.
