About This Event

If you are new to swing dance (or returning after a hiatus) and want to have fun and meet people, this class is for you! We start with the basic 6-count footwork and the class quickly picks up from there. You will learn to connect with your partner to achieve the tension and compression that makes swing dancing feel so good!  You will learn a variety of moves, including various tuck turns, pass by's, send outs, and more! Our goal by the end of class is that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop and can incorporate both 6-count and 8-count moves into a single dance, with and without triple setps!  This class will feel challenging at certain points, but is sure to get you dancing!  Register for this series here: https://www.santacruzswing.com/register

Visiting The 418 Project: What to Expect

House guidelines to ensure a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone

Our sprung wood and theater dance floors are shoe-free zones to preserve the floor and keep movement safe. Please remove outdoor footwear and place them in the cubbies in our lobby upon arrival. Barefoot, dance socks, or indoor-only soft dance shoes are welcome!
We have a filtered water bottle refill station on-site, so feel free to bring a refillable bottle. All restrooms are all-gender, ADA-accessible, and located conveniently on the ground floor.
To ensure everyone can breathe and move comfortably—especially community members with chemical sensitivities and asthma—The 418 Project is a low-fragrance space. Please refrain from applying perfumes, scented colognes, or strongly scented lotions before attending.
As an artist-driven non-profit collective, we believe movement and art should be accessible to all regardless of financial circumstances. Many events feature sliding scale tickets, and we offer work-trade opportunities for community members who wish to volunteer in exchange for admission.
