Upcoming lesson series: 

The Intermediate program (A, B, C, & D) is a group of 4 five-week series that can be taken in any order:

A: Connection & Musical Responsiveness: Classes will highlight moves and exercises that improve students' connection to their partner and to the music.

B: Challenging Combinations: Learn complex moves and short choreographies to give you more material on the social floor, plus the skills to combine all the moves you already know in musically connected ways. 

C: Versatility & Variations: Learn, practice, and develop your own style and rhythm variations to the moves you know and love. Dive into a wider range of tempos and musical styles, adjacent to Swing Jazz, and improve your responsiveness to the full variety of music played in Swing settings. 

D: Speeding Up: Learn tips, techniques, and styles that help you enjoy dancing to the faster music played at Swing dances, plus moves that suit those tempos.

Note: you may choose to remain with one or two partners or rotate throughout the class, and you may change your mind as your needs and comforts shift.
