The Atlanta Swing-Era Dance Association provides dance education opportunities for nearly every skill level - beginner, intermediate and advanced. So your excuse about having two left feet and no experience won't "swing" with us. You don't even need a partner! All you need are a pair of comfortable shoes and the desire to learn. All classes are open to any one interested. Instructors teach East Coast Swing, Jitterbug, Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Shag and other swing dances.

Swing for free: Free one-hour instruction
ASEDA offers free one-hour dance instruction before our monthly community dances. There is no sign-up or registration needed, just come one hour before the dance begins and learn something new! It's a great inexpensive date idea or a great way to meet people. Click here for the calendar of the next ASEDA dances and free instructions.

Step It Up: In-depth Workshops & Classes
For more in-depth dance education, ASEDA supports workshops and classes that provide opportunities to learn and practice new skills. Workshops and classes cover topics such as technique, choreography, jazz movements and musicality. ASEDA members may receive discounts for these workshops and classes.
