Here are answers to common questions you might have about swing dancing and our classes.
Do I need to bring a partner?
Not at all! We constantly rotate partners in class, and we dance with everybody!
Do I need special shoes?
Nope! In general, it is best to wear shoes you are comfortable in. However, shoes that have a smoother sole will help with turns and other movements. High heels are not recommended.
Is there an age limit?
Our dance community is inclusive of all ages 16+, and we have dancers of all ages!
I have never danced in my life! Can I still come?
Please do! We are beginner-friendly!
Should I lead or follow?
Leaders initiate the move, and followers follow the moves initiated by the leaders. Anyone can lead or follow, regardless of your gender!
What types of dance do you teach?
We teach 6 and 8-count Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing and Charleston, and some members also dance Balboa. Here is a link to a YouTube video demonstrating these styles by our friends Rachel and Tom, who teach in Cork.
Do you teach year-round?
We teach from September to the end of May, with breaks for holidays.
