Practice Sessions are a great practical application of what you are learning in your program because they complete the lesson information taught in our private and group lessons. Learning is one thing, but making the material work in a live setting while dancing with different people is quite another. The practice session will put everything together as well as aid in music identification and help you to learn not to run into other people on the dance floor. You can meet other students and practice your leading and following skills in a fun, relaxed environment.
- Supervised and guided by a teacher
- All Levels are Welcome
- Complimentary for package holders | regular class price for everyone else
E.C. Swing Level 1 Group Class will be taught for Beginner Level students. No dance experience or partner needed. Let’s have FUN together!!!
This dance is frequently referred to as Triple Step swing due to the rhythm of the basic triple step. The East Coast Swing consists of six and eight count patterns, which require a rock step back by both man and woman to begin. It is a circular dance that is danced with a bounce and is very grounded and not high in the legs. This bounce requires the dancer to stay very smooth and not jump around much. East Coast swing is the base for all swing dances.
Continue to Learn E.C. Swing during Level 2 Class in the following month.

DANCE YOUR WAY TO A HEALTHY HEART.
Join Us for a Night of Social Dancing to celebrate American Heart Month. B.Y.O.B.
Admission: $15 per single | $20 per couple. Open to the Public.
February is a month when we have hearts on the brain, celebrating both American Heart Month and Valentine’s Day. These events act as calendar reminders to be mindful of your heart, and keep it strong, healthy and active. One of the best — and fun! — ways to keep it healthy, is to dance. Dancing has been proven to have incredible mental and physical health benefits. It’s also been proven that dancing is one of the best physical exercises a person can do to keep their heart strong.
“Dancing appears to be an attractive and fun way for heart failure patients to get their exercise,” says Elliot M. Antman, M.D, a heart specialist at Harvard Medical School. “I highly recommend it.”
Dancing’s positive effects go beyond mere exercise. The chemicals in our brain that affect mood shift into overdrive when we hear music. Be it upbeat or sad and slow, music can alter the way we feel. When people hear a song that makes them move, their daily stresses disappear. And any reduction in stress is great for the heart!
But not all exercise is created equal. While any cardiovascular exercise is good for the heart, dancing may be even better. An Italian study tested 110 people; 40 percent walked on treadmills, 40 percent danced, and 20 percent did nothing. At the end of the test, both groups that exercised “improved [their] heart health and breathing,” (no surprise there). But Dr. Robert Bonow, the chief of cardiology at Northwestern Memorial School of Medicine, believes one of dancing’s primary health benefits may be “related to the fact that they are interacting socially instead of walking on a treadmill by themselves.”
In other words, exercise + music + social interaction = good heart health.
Dancing is good for the heart, but it’s also good for the mind, body and spirit. Dancing and dance lessons offer an ideal social atmosphere with physical and emotional benefits. Dancing with a loved one, or even a stranger, can help you feel good on the inside, while improving your confidence. Always speak to a doctor before participating in any physical activities. But if you are cleared to exercise, there’s no better way to celebrate the Month of the Heart (February), than by learning to dance, having fun and improving your overall health.
