Guest artists: Lilli Ann and Claire Carey

Jump Jive and Swing IT! Workshop

With a quick-to-learn swing basic, we'll explore some of the classic swing moves and then branch out into oh-so-cool freezes and kick steps.

Swing dance (originally Lindy Hop) has been arguably the most recognized and danced partner dance since it blew on to the streets of New York in the 19 teens and 20's. With a large population of young swing dancers here in Seattle, this is one great dance to get in your groove.

This will be a high-energy class, so bring clean-soled shoes that stay on your feet with a little slide on the floor so you don't get stuck in your tracks!
