This will be a 45 minute class suitable for beginners covering basics for Swing and Jive.

Each class covers these elements of Swing/Jive dancing:
... Brief coverage of musical count, rhythm and timing
... Brief coverage of posture and stance for Latin dancing
... Basic patterns of Jive and Swing with emphasis on proper body movement and connection with partner

This class is also a great opportunity for intermediate dancers to review, practice and improve the fundamental skills that produce attractive dance actions.

Advanced dancers work several hours every week on the movements and exercises covered in these classes. They understand that their success comes from continuing improvement of fundamental skills for movement and connection.

4 to 8 class sessions will prepare most students for more advanced classes, but advanced dancers continue to participate in these classes to stay conditioned and to keep their basic movements and partnering skills sharp.
