Question 1

Do I need a partner?

Answer

No, most people come with out a partner. We rotate partners in class every 5-10 minutes so you get a chance to learn with multiple people.

Question 2

I have no experience dancing, will I be out of place?

Answer

Absolutely not, everyone starts somewhere and our Intro to Swing class will be a perfect place for you to start at any time!

Question 3

Where are the lessons?

Answer

(SASPA) The San Antonio School for the Performing Arts. 11210 Disco, San Antonio, TX, 78216

Question 4

When can we start taking lessons?

Answer

You can start taking the drop-in Intro to Swing class on any Wednesday. Check the calendar to be sure we don’t have a break or a special event. Please arrive 5 minutes before the class starts. If you already have dance experience and want to join the next level of classes, it’s best to start on the first Wednesday of the month as they are progressive. Please review any pre-requisites on our website before attending the class. Some classes may be subject to instructor approval.

Question 5

Do we need to call or register ahead of time?

Answer

Nope, just show up! We take cash, card, or check at the door!

Question 6

If I don’t want to rotate partners, can I keep my partner during the class?

Answer

Sure! Not a problem.

Question 7

What should I wear?

Answer

Our recommendation is that you wear something that you feel comfortable moving in. There’s no need for special sports clothes, but be prepared to sweat a bit, especially when dancing to faster music!

Question 8

What about shoes?

Answer

If you’re going Swing dancing for the first time or just starting out, you don't need to buy new shoes just for Swing dancing. We recommend a lighter shoe that's comfy to bounce and twist in. Avoid sandals, open-toed shoes, and high/spiked heels.

Question 9

Can my child take the beginner class?

Answer

Our classes are intended for ages 18+ or 16+ with parental consent. The pace and structure of the beginner class is not designed for children. Children can take our beginner class with a parent and they do not rotate partners. Though children are not prohibited, the experience is tailored to adults. Hopefully one day our community will have grown large enough for us to have a youth program!
