David Allan has been teaching swing dance for over 15 years! He has taught at Middlebury and St Michael's colleges, the Waldorf schools and many townhalls throughout VT. You will learn the fundamentals of leading and following which include correct body posturing, connection and foot work.
This class is a continuation of the Access class, East Coast Swing Dancing for Beginners. Students must have taken the beginner East Coast Swing Class OR be proficient in the six count open and closed V positions as well as be able to do inside and outside turns. Min Age 16+.
Both couples and individuals are welcome! We will be regularly rotating among all class members for a better dancing experience. Couples will have a chance to practice together towards the end of each class. During registration, you will be asked if you prefer to Lead, Follow, or no-preference. To create a balanced class we may ask partners to be flexible.
Please wear any flat sole shoe. A leather sole is preferred, but sneakers are an acceptable and comfortable option.
We loved our class experience! David is a really great instructor. He answers questions and really wants the students to understand the dance steps. We learned SO MUCH!
