Santa Cruz Swing

Santa Cruz Swing-image

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
