Presented by Steve Conrad

Get ready to tap your toes with Steve Conrad and pals! In this movement based seminar you will learn dances from the 1940s and 50s when Swing music was Pop music. These partner dances including East Coast Swing, also known as 6-count Lindy Hop, and Collegiate. Traditionally we think of dances paired with Swing music but these same dance steps can be translated to surf rock dancefloor! Let's have fun learning and dancing together. No experience necessary, no partner needed. Please wear comfortable shoes.
