How to Prepare to Swing Dance

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Lauri, and today we will we will be talking about how to learn to swing dance. Swing dancing, which is a form of ballroom, is a very specific kind of dance and is only taught in certain areas. The first thing I feel that you should do if you want to learn how to swing dance is research different studio options of where you can actually go and take swing lessons. The studios will be able to provide you with information on what you should wear to one of these lessons; what kind of shoes are appropriate, and weather you would need a dance partner or not. Oftentimes, with swing dancing you will be required to have a partner. Most studios will offer somebody to dance with you, or you can bring your own partner. It is best to find out which studios specialize in that form of dance, and then find out pricing, days and availability for those classes, and then go and try a class. In most cases you can go and take a class for free, and find out if it's something that interests you. Oftentimes, in most cities they even have special dances which are free to the public, and where you will learn a swing dance style."
