All classes are held at The Savoy at 2700 Arapahoe in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. MAP

Yes, you can join the second week of a series! But be aware that the class will be covering material faster than in the first week due to the progressive nature. You cannot join after the second week for Beginner Lindy Hop, so you’d have to stay tuned for our next session!

You do not need to bring a partner. We rotate partners in all of our classes so that students get experience dancing with a variety of people. We have found that by rotating our students learn much faster. You may also choose to come with a partner and not rotate.

We currently offer Beginner and Intermediate levels.

The term “Swing” refers to a number of different dance styles that evolved in the swing era and are rooted in swing music. In our Beginner class we start with Lindy Hop with maybe some Charleston mixed in. In later levels or workshop offerings, we’d like to offer other dance styles like Balboa, Collegiate Shag, or more Vernacular Jazz. We teach a variety of swing-era dances such as Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Balboa. While each of these dances are distinct, today most swing dancers are familiar with and dance all of them.

Lindy Hop is a casual dance, and it’s also quite athletic. We suggest comfortable clothes that you can move around in, and non-marking flat shoes that will stay on your feet (open backed shoes or flip flops don’t work well.) Followers don’t generally wear heels in Lindy. If you have leather soled shoes, maybe bring a backup option in case you think the floor is a bit too slick.

Preregistration isn't mandatory, but you do get a nice discount by preregistering online. Plus, we have limited spots due to COVID mitigation. Otherwise, we accept cash and most major credit cards at the door. We cannot accept checks.

We have created a handy guide to the expected etiquette at all of our events. Following these simple guidelines will help ensure everyone has an enjoyable time.

While dancing in crowded venues it is easy to get sweaty. Most dancers bring an extra shirt or two to change into as the night goes on as dancing with someone who has sweated through their clothing is unpleasant. Also consider bringing deodorant and breath mints to stave off personal odors. If someone is particularly smelly, speak to one of the instructors or staff and they will delicately approach the issue with the person.

Some of our instructors do offer private lessons. Please email info@swingindenver.com.

We will likely re-evaluate once the six metro Denver counties achieve green level on this dashboard.
