Swing Time is gearing up to dance and perform at the Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Festival!  Expand your repertoire (beyond the usual East-Coast Swing and Lindy Hop).  Learn 5 new dances -- Collegiate Shag, Balboa, Big Apple, and 1920's Solo & Partner Charleston -- that go great with swinging jazz music and that you can use to tear up the dance floor at the festival and at your usual swing-dance stomping grounds!  Learn useful new dance steps and improve your overall dancing skills!  Optional: Upon completion of this 8-week series, you will have the opportunity to perform with the team at a popular public event!

PREREQUISITES:  Prior swing dancing and partner dancing experience is helpful, but not required.  If you've never swing-danced before, it's recommended that you take some of our free swing-dance classes (held at the start of each event) beforehand.

PARTNERS:  No partner is required.  People are welcome to sign up either with or without a partner.  To maximize learning, all participants will be required to rotate and to dance with a variety of partners.  We will strive to register a fairly even balance of leaders and followers.
