| Beginning Swing (Drop-In) This class is not a series and is taught by a variety of skilled instructors. Basic steps will be covered and a different selection of moves will be taught in each class with some review. If you are new to partner dancing this is a perfect way to learn and meet new people who are in the same boat. If you have some experience and want a refresher or want to try dancing the other part (lead vs. follow) to experience what your dance partners feel that is great too. This is typically a Six-Count (East Coast) Swing lesson with the possibility of adding in a few basics of Charleston etc.Instructors: Variety of skilled instructors
