You don't need to sign up with a dance partner to take any of these classes. Everyone is welcome to join!

All classes are $50 per person or $80 per couple (one leader and one follower) for the complete 5 week session.

BEGINNING JITTERBUG classes are from 7pm-8pm on 5 consecutive Mondays starting February 25th and ending March 25th. 

Please join us and learn the easiest form of partnered dancing--The Jitterbug! You will learn several basic footwork patterns and how to lead and follow a fun mix of spins and turns in open and closed position. There are many opportunities in the Cleveland area to go out and dance to live music. Learning to swing dance is a great way to get involved, meet people, and get some exercise too!

This class is appropriate for students 10 years old and up. 

INTERMEDIATE JITTERBUG classes are from 8pm-9pm on 5 consecutive Mondays starting February 25th and ending March 25th. 

If you can do the triple step basic and turn or be turned while holding down a simple conversation-Congratulations you have just been promoted to intermediate level Jitterbug! In this class you will learn some really eye catching moves, turns, and footwork variations. If there is a move you have been just itching to learn;please let us know and we will be happy to teach that move too! 

This class is appropriate for students 10 years old and up. 

Monday night classes will be taught by Andy Lammers and Brittany Henthorn.

BEGINNING LINDY classes are from 7pm-8pm on 5 consecutive Tuesdays starting February 26th and ending March 26th. 

Lindy Hop began in the ballrooms of Harlem in the late 1920s/early 1930s. It is a conglomeration of dances that each group of immigrants brought over from their native land put to what was the latest craze in music at the time--Jazz!

In this class you will learn to master the swing out, the circle, the inside turn, the outside turn and a few variations on all of the above. For good examples of the Lindy please look for the dance scenes in the movies “Swing Kids” and "Malcolm X"

This class is appropriate for students 12 years old and up. 

BEGINNING BALBOA & BAL-SWING classes are from 8pm-9pm on 5 consecutive Tuesdays starting February 26th and ending March 26th. 

Balboa and Bal-Swing are dances that originated in the crowded ballrooms of Southern California in the 1930s. The Balboa is most loved for it's fancy footwork, close body connection, small details and the ability to be done quite easily at faster tempos. Many people have said that Balboa is the Tango of Swing. If you are interested in developing and refining your leading or following abilities, then Balboa is definitely the dance that can help you.

This class is appropriate for students 16 years old and up. 

Tuesday night classes will be taught by Dave Rubin and Deb Halinski.

We rotate partners in all of our classes to help you develop your lead and follow skills rather than just memorizing moves. This greatly improves your technique and makes going out to all of the social dances much more fun. The teachers also dance in the rotation so you will get personalized feedback several times during each lesson. If you and your partner would rather not rotate that is allowed but not encouraged.
