Monday 6:00-8:00- Teen Swing Dance 1 (13-18)
Grab a partner and get ready to swing! In this class, students will learn three of the most popular swing dance styles: East Coast Swing, the bouncy, beginner-friendly six-count dance; Lindy Hop, the original 1930s swing dance known for its swingout and Charleston; and West Coast Swing, a smooth, slotted style danced to modern music. Along the way, students will build partnering skills like posture, frame, and connection, plus timing, musicality, turns, and safe dips and aerials. The session wraps up with a fun, energetic showcase featuring all three styles. No dance experience needed!

Brent is a CYT alum from the former KC South program. He started learning swing dancing at 13 in CYT and continued to widen his knowledge of various partner dances from there. During college, he toured with a swing dance performance group. He has taught partner dancing to various classes and in private lessons for over 14 years!

Laura was first introduced to partner dance at a swing dance in high school. In college she had opportunities to study it more and began branching out into other styles including waltz, foxtrot, salsa, and polka. Since then she’s been able to use them in several productions, helping her cast members learn them in the process. Now she’s excited to share these with the CYT students so they can approach the shows that call for them with competence and confidence.
