Which Class Should I Take?
Join us for a group swing dance class! In our 8-week classes we'll provide clear
step-by-step instruction and plenty of practice time to build confidence.
You never need to bring a partner - we rotate in class so you meet and dance with everyone.
And it's fun. We promise.
Here's the scoop on how our classes work to ensure the best progress for each dancer:
We offer three general levels of classes - A, B and C. For any given series we'll offer an A (section 1, 2 or 3), a B (section 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) and a C (section 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). You need to take all numbered sections in a certain level (A, B, C) to progress, but you can take them in any order.
Once you've taken any of our A or B-level classes it's free to take them as many times as you'd like. This ensures that your basics are always solid, and also helps newer dancers by mixing levels in beginning classes.

We also offer a weekly practice (often to live music!) so that you can come practice your new dance skills each week and have a bunch of fun in the process.
Note for all A-Level Beginning Classes:
A1 = Beginning Swing: 6-Count Swing
A2 = Beginning Swing: Charleston
A3 = Beginning Swing: Lindy Hop
Note for all B-Level Intermediate Classes:
B1 = Integrating Your 6 and 8-Counts
B2 = Lindy Stew
B3 = Swingout Workshop
B4 = Beyond Basic Charleston
B5 = Spring Routine Class
Note for all C-Level Adv-Intermediate Classes:
C1 = Breaking the Pattern
C2 = Putting Solo Jazz in Your Partner Dancing
C3 = Advanced Charleston
C4 = Slowing It Down/Speeding It Up
C5 = Spring Routine Class
For current class schedules, check out Tuesday or Thursday night options.
We never want cost to keep someone from learning to swing dance. If cost is an issue for you, just send a quick email to portlandswingproject@gmail.com and we'd be happy to offer you free or reduced cost classes with no questions asked. We want everyone to dance!
