Here is a short guide to our regular class structure to help you to chose the elements of swing dancing that you want to focus on.
-
JIVE classes focus on 6-count figures, mostly single-time swing for more up-tempo tracks. (We use a lot of Rock 'n' Roll and Rhythm & Blues on Mondays.)
-
JITTTERBUG classes are geared around double-time footwork and incorporate Charleston variations and sometimes more.
-
LINDY HOP sessions are where we mainly teach triple-time footwork, generally to medium tempo jazz, and take plenty of time to explore the core 8-count variations such as swing-outs.
Swing dancers often mix and mingle all of these elements to suit the moment. We make the journey easier for you by having a clear focus for each teaching track.
We dance other styles although we mainly teach those through private tuition and workshops.
