As one of New York’s biggest and best dance studios, You Should Be Dancing! offers a multitude of swing class options. Not only does it offer beginner, advanced-beginner and intermediate courses spanning multiple days, but there are also intensives in specific styles like Balboa or collegiate shag, one of the more popular styles on the swing dancing circuit. It also offers crash courses (one-day workshops) in West Coast swing and specific maneuvers like dips, tricks and pretzels. Students can get their double kicks—a sentiment and a swing step—at the free practice sessions on Tuesdays or at the studio’s open parties ($10, $8 for students).
Have you ever heard amazing jazz in New York and felt inspired to tap your feet? Do you wish that ballroom dancing included more crazy lifts, high kicks and flips? Well, swing dancing is one of the most fun—and fast-paced—social dances! No former training or experience is necessary to learn at these dance classes, so grab your sneakers and get dipping. Oh, and don’t forget that it’s a great workout, too.
