Upcoming Weekend Swing
Workshops and Practices
Join Portland Swing Project for a swing "crash course" and learn the fundamentals of swing dancing on a Sunday!
​We'll teach you basic movements and footwork to get you out on the dance floor, and we'll show you how to connect with any dance partner. We rotate partners in class so you'll get a chance to dance with everyone, and we give plenty of practice time to music to build confidence.
Absolute beginners welcome, no partner needed.

10:30am-12:30pm

$30 per person

These are "open floor" practices: there will be music, a dance floor, and people to practice with, but no formal instruction. All levels are welcome.
