Looking to get started in swing dancing? This is the perfect dance class for you! It's designed to get people who have never danced before up
and on the dance floor having fun! The class will introduce you to the basics of footwork and
lead/follow. By the end of the class you will know the basic triple step footwork as well as some fundamental
turns and moves. It will provide you with all you need to know to move on to any of the classes we teach! Also, check out the
beginning guide FAQ on swing dancing where you can find information on what shoes to wear, what music to practice to, and much much more!
Classes will rotate, so no partner is needed. All ages are welcome. No need to register in advance for this class, simply
show up ready to learn!
Time and Location: 2nd & 4th Saturdays at Whirl & Twirl - 8pm to 9pm
Price: Free with paid admission to the dance.
A review DVD is available for sale at the door ($15). It covers all the material from the beginning class, plus
some extra moves and variations.
Series classes allow you to learn to dance in a step-by-step, week-by-week fashion. Each class builds
upon the material in the previous class and allows time for you to practice between classes.
Flyin' Footwork offers series classes at the Longwood Ballroom on
Sunday afternoons. Basics/Fundamentals classes are from 2 to 3:30pm and Intermediate classes
are from 12:30 to 2pm. New classes start about every six weeks. See the schedule on the top
right of this page to get upcoming class dates. Classes we teach include:
Lindy Hop Series Class: Starting June 15th! Our most popular class! This
class takes you from the 6-count to the 8-count basics and includes moves and
variations.
Great for beginners!
Swing Dance Series Class: This class starts
with the 6-count basic and focuses on 6-count moves, turns, and combos. Great for beginners!
Intermediate Lindy Hop: This class is designed to advance your dancing through
technique, style, and dance dynamics. With an abundance of material, no two intermediate
classes are the same. There is always something new!
Charleston Series Class: Starting June 15th! From 20's style, to side-by-side, to front/back... this
class will show you how to integrate Charleston into any style of swing. Great for all levels of dancers!
Balboa Series Class: Balboa is the perfect dance to both look and dance smooth from slow
to even the fastest of tempos. This class covers the dance from ground up. This class is great for dancers of all levels, but it can be
a bit challenging for those just learning to dance.
Collegiate Shag Series Class: Fast paced and fun! Shag is an energetic dance
that is perfect for faster tempos. It's a bit aerobic, but it's super easy to learn!

Workshops are compact afternoon (or day long) classes on particular subjects. While they are
not as comprehensive as series classes, they offer a lot of information in a short period of
time and tend to fit well into busy schedules. They often focus on particular subjects to improve
or add new aspects to your dancing. They are an excellent means to pick up new moves, steps, and
concepts. Flyin' Footwork offers workshops from time to time in the afternoons prior to the
2nd & 4th Saturday swing dances. For a list of upcoming workshops, check the schedule on the right.
