Swing Dance
Newly resurrected, the Swing Dance Club is intended to be a space for
those who love to dance and those who want to learn to love to dance.
Swing is a social, fun, active, and yet laid-back dance that doesn't follow too many rules and creates a friendly and exciting atmosphere. Basic East Coast Swing is less complicated and easier to learn than many other partner dances, yet it can also be surprisingly malleable and rich in possibilities for experimentation. Additionally, Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing offer a slightly more complicated deviation of the dance. We're looking for avid dancers interested in teaching and getting others excited, and for beginners who want to get a sense of this fantastic social dance and learn a skill that will stay with them. We're hoping to create a weekly alternative for stress relief from classes, a fun atmosphere to meet new people, and we're also planning on heading into Philadelphia and to UPenn to explore various swing classes and ballrooms and get a better sense of the possibilities outside Haverford.
