Interested in learning how to dance? UConn Swing & Blues teaches beginner-friendly dance lessons every Tuesday! Swing dance is a culmination of dance styles created by the African American dance community, originating from the Harlem Renaissance in 1920s New York City, encompassing everything from Charleston to Lindy Hop to Jive.
Join us online this week for our dance lessons! We'll be teaching more variations on the Charleston (be sure to check out our introduction to Charleston lesson from last week!), and some solo West-Coast Swing.
All levels of dance experience are welcome. Learn how to dance from the comfort of your dorm, no partners required! We are an LGBTQ+ safe space. Lessons are free to watch, and moderators will be answering questions to the best of their abilities. Check our Facebook out for our in-person lesson COVID-19 regulations!
Swing Dance Lesson: 7:30-8:00pm
Blues Dance Lesson: 8:00-8:30pm
