We ask that you book each class through our store so that we can ensure a reasonable lead-follow ratio, avoid exceeding our venue capacity limit, and alleviate traffic jams at check-in time.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Dancing is exercise! So wear clothes you can move freely and sweat in. You can save your vintage clobber for when you hit the town. Wear comfortable shoes that won't kick off your feet and that aren't too grippy! The floor is slightly sprung timber with medium grip. The room is well air-conditioned.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
In partnered swing dancing there are two roles, Lead and Follow, which are both equally challenging and fun in their own distinct ways. These roles have never been strictly gender-specific and we have no problems at all if you are a woman who chooses to lead or a man who chooses to follow. We only hope to achieve an even balance of the roles in class if possible. If there are a couple of bonus leads or follows don’t worry, the class will rotate and everyone will get to try the steps with multiple partners. Occasionally we’ll have one couple who want to stick together and we can accommodate that. At the beginning of a Level 1 class we often go through some easy solo warm-up movement to music. Then we teach a “Basic” repeatable footwork pattern that will be the basis for the additional moves we will teach you later in the class. Students are welcome to give positive feedback and encouragement to each other, however if things are unclear or something isn’t working we ask that students ask questions of the teachers rather than giving each other unsolicited corrective feedback. There may be some more experienced students or some of our other teachers dancing in the group to even up the numbers and help the class progress more quickly. You may ask your partner for brief feedback, but please do not hold up the rotation or be talking with your partner while the teachers are trying to teach! Assume that whenever the teachers are talking, they are talking to you.
