| Tuesdays in October at 8-8:30pm | Intro to Partner Charleston
"Core" lessons stress the fundamentals of swing dancing for beginning dancers. Lessons rotate monthly to focus on a different kind of swing dance (6 Count Lindy, 8 Count Lindy, Charleston, Balboa, etc.). Because good fundamentals are hard to develop in one month, we recommend repeating Core lessons (on the same topic) to help develop the solid foundation you'll need in continuing classes. Core lessons are also great for intermediate and advanced dancers who want to "get back to basics" or learn a different dancing role (lead vs. follow). No partner or experience required :) Price: $10. It also covers the Open Practice and the late night dance! | Sparrow |
| 8:30-9:00 | Open Practice (all levels!) with DJ
Join us for the Open Practice! All levels are welcome, and our teachers will be available throughout the practice to dance with you! Price: $5. It also covers the late night dance! |
