Our Mission
To spread the joy of swing dancing throughout the Hudson Valley.
Our Philosophy
We believe that dance is the best thing you can do for yourself: physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. Many of our students started dancing as a result of life changes such as marriage, divorce or job loss. We frequently hear "Dancing saved my life." It's true. Dancing is an opportunity to connect with others in a supportive environment. When you learn to dance you discover rhythms of your body and your heart that you may not have known were there. Our mission is to spread the joy of swing dancing as we teach people the skills to do it! We love teaching, each other, and our students...so we all always have a good time!
Our Approach
Every move we teach is grounded in principles of lead and follow connection. With a fundamental understanding of how to lead and follow, and being well-connected, our students can dance practically any dance with anybody. Rather than load you down with moves you can't remember, we review weekly to ensure that you have the confidence and ability to execute the moves on the dance floor.
