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 dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American community in the ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has many opportunities for both partners to creatively 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. Our goal is to 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.
