WHO MAY ATTEND? - You do not need to bring a dance partner but you may be dancing with lots of different people during the lesson and while the band plays, if you like.  If you want to only dance with the person you bring with you, that is fine too.  You do not need previous dance experience.  We do hope you bring a positive and open mind and attitude.  

We welcome anyone to join us who has an interest in dance, music, socializing and fun. We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :) 

WHO WE ARE - We are the swing dance company Get Hep Swing.  Get Hep Swing is lead by owner, founder, and multi-year national and international swing dance champion, Valerie Salstrom.

We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has many opportunities for both partners to express themselves and this creates an incredibly empowering and joyful experience. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. 

We make learning to partner dance easy and enjoyable. Please join us the second Friday of every month at the Lakewood Masonic Temple and the last Saturday of every month at The Lithuanian Club.
