Swing Cville's Crash Course dates back to 2009. This two-hour beginner workshop starts from the ground up, with the most basic movements and concepts. No prior dance experience is required. It's the best way to put you on the fast-track to having fun with swing dance!
This class is excellent for first-timers as well as the more experienced dancers who are looking to refresh themselves in the basics and foundations.
If you have no dance experience at all, we recommend the following schedule to help get you on the floor in no time:
Wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes. You do not need to go out and purchase new dance shoes, but we do recommend that beginners stay away from high-heels or shoes with a lot of tread.
We provide snacks & water at all dance events, so no worries about bringing those things.
