Notes:
- A partner is recommended but not required, you're welcome to invite friends!
What we teach: Our style of swing is a Simplified, 4-Count, Single-Step East Coast Variation. It is very simple and not difficult to pick up. If you can count to four you can dance!
About the teachers:
- Courtney Johnson (your follow instructor) is a local professional photographer for Aesthetic Essence Photography. She has been dancing for twenty years and swing dancing for nine! She began at Robin’s School of Dance in the third grade, was Captain of her dance team at Western Christian and has never stopped dancing! She learned how to Swing Dance at the Dordt University club with friends.
- Marcus Johnson (your lead instructor) is Courtney’s husband! He works for Schiebout Window and Door and builds hand-crafted woodworking projects on the side. Marcus learned to dance from Courtney early on in their relationship back in 2019.
Our goal is to teach new, intermediate and advanced dancers the skills and confidence to swing dance in any social environment. We will be instructing the class in a basic single swing step, helping students learn to lead and follow well and teaching a variety of moves including but not limited to turns, tricks and dips!
What to wear: You can dress up or dress down. It's totally up to you! But remember that we will be moving around and might even break a sweat, so keep that in mind.
Who is this class for: This class is open to all ages and experience levels. We work from the ground up so that anyone at any ability level can learn how to dance. This class is not only for couples, but for singles too! If necessary we rotate partners so that everyone gets a chance to dance. A partner isn’t required but it is helpful, so please feel free to invite friends!
What to bring: Take along a learning spirit, a positive attitude and a refillable water bottle.
