Swing
dancing
is
a
BLAST. You've thought swing dancing looked fun but haven't
gotten around to learning it? It's great exercise for the body and
mind--but don't
be fooled by the misconception that it's usually done at racing speeds.
Swing jazz music makes you naturally tap your feet, others in
the dance scene
want you to dance with them, and you can learn enough to start swing
dancing in a very short time. Lessons are also the perfect
icebreaker for getting to know other dancers.

Regular dances often begin with a one-hour beginner lesson,
free after the admission price (such as at Bill Hanna's Vintage Dance Band,
Jumpin' Java and
Swingin' Saturday
on the CSDS
Calendar page).
In-depth lessons are often taught in a 4- or 6-week series at
beginner or intermediate levels.
The groups listed below provide those.
Lesson schedules are constantly evolving, so I can't
always keep this list current--check with instructors for details.
