Progam

So, what do we do at our events? Here is a brief outline of our program, which can be tailored to different situations and time needs.

--We introduce Swingin' from the Heart, and give a brief history of swing dancing.

--We highlight different aspects of the dance, which may include:

  • Basic swing lesson: All dancers participate in helping teach basic swing steps to get audience members who want to participate out onto the dance floor. Minimum half an hour needed.
  • Line dances: The Shim Sham and the Jitterbug stroll.
  • Choreographed group performances: Classic routines from the 30's.
  • The Big Apple: A popular dance during the late 30's. We have a performance version, and a �social� version conducive to audience participation which is encouraged!
  • Jam circle: For those who are more adventurous and want to show their stuff!
  • Everybody dances: Anyone who is interested in participating is welcome to join us at any time!

Participation in each activity is optional. Music for the event is provided by our volunteers, although it's appreciated when the sound system is available at the event facility.
