Aug. 31st Bootcamp: EAST COAST SWING BASICS!

*NO PARTNER REQUIRED*

Learn the basics of East Coast Swing in ONE DAY! East Coast is the easiest, fastest and funnest (is that a word?!) of all the swing dance varieties. It is the ideal place to start for beginners who want to try swing dancing. Using faster blues, big band, neo-swing or electro-swing music, East Coast is also sometimes called Jive, single-time swing ("single swing") or jitterbug.

If you want to see some kids dancing pure social East Coast this quick video will give you a rough idea of what it's all about: in a word, pure FUN!

If this is your first dance class don't worry, it's perfect for beginners. Dip your big toe in and test the water.
