Swing Dance Classes - Beginners

Swing Dance Classes - Beginners

In our Swing Dance Classes - Beginners, you will learn the Lindy hop, which developed in New York City in the 1920s and 30s, combining elements of Jazz Dance and Charleston.

It’s easy to understand why Swing Dance is more popular than ever, offering high-energy techniques and choreography, easy-to-master basic steps, and some of the most iconic jazz sounds of the 1930s and 40s.

You’ll learn the basic step, before mastering more complicated elements and turns as you grow in confidence.

Swing Dance Classes - Beginners Content

During the Swing Dance Beginners course, you will:

  • Learn the 6 count basic (lindy) using triple steps
  • Add styling and moves like the tuck turn, push turn, and send out
  • Develop your coordination and fitness
  • Gain the confidence and skills you need to start dancing swing socially

You will receive friendly guidance and feedback from your tutor throughout the swing dance lessons.

Hear from our students

"That was the moment I realised this dance form was my future - people are only dancing, they all share the joy of this dance."

Swing Dance student Erica Izzo spoke to us about what drew her towards dance, and her experience learning and performing with City Academy.
