First time Swing Dancing?
All of our regular weekly classes are 1 hour long and are taught in a drop-in format so you can start any week and it doesn’t matter if you have to miss one. First-timers are always most welcome in our Fundamentals classes (Level 1). No partner is required, as we encourage rotating partners. However, if you bring a partner and wish to stay together to reduce COVID risk we certainly will accommodate that.
We ask that you click here to book each class through our web store so that we can ensure a reasonable lead-follow ratio, avoid overcrowding, and streamline the check-in process.
Prepaid 8-Class Passes are also available for purchase. To use your Class Pass when booking online, simply choose "Register to pay at door" from the pass type drop-down list. Don't forget to click on the cart icon and complete checkout or registration will not compete. You should receive an email confirmation.
Explorers classes (Level 2) will assume that you know the basics taught in Fundamentals (Level 1) and you must talk with your teacher before moving up.
We take the health and safety of our community very seriously and we are so grateful that all of our dancers have been ready and willing to do what it takes to look after one and other. The recently updated COVID-19 rules are as follows:
If you are sick do not come to dancing. We are always happy to refund or reschedule.
Wearing a mask is not currently mandatory, but is still recommended when social distancing is not possible. We will always support and encourage our students to wear one at any time.
Since April 2022, you are no longer required to be fully vaccinated, however we continue to *request* that you do not come to Corner Pocket unless your vaccinations are up to date.
Bring your own filled water bottle with your name on it.
While surface contact has only proven to be a rare vector of transmission for COVID-19, good hand hygiene is always a particularly good idea for partnered dancing.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at info@cornerpocketswing.com.au
