Swing dancing is energizing, exciting and timeless. Looking to put a little pep in your step? Then get on the floor for a Swing dance or two and become revived! Feel your blood pumping and have fun burning calories while exploring a new hobby all at the same time.

At Dance FX Studios, you will learn useful dance tips like how to be a great leader or follower as well as how to build a connection with your partner. We will also give you a variety of moves to keep your dancing dynamic and lively. Check out a few Swing dancing tips below to get you started on your dancing quest.
1. Determine your style.
With over 24 variations of Swing, from Country Swing to Lindy Hop to West Coast Swing, the “look” you want on the dance floor can be yours. Do you like oldies, Rock and Roll or Big Band music? Would you like to look sultry and slinky or dance with a bounce in your step? Maybe a set of Cowboy boots are more your thing. Either way, with private Swing dance lessons from us, you can be yourself and find the right style to suit you. Since Swing dancing can be used almost anywhere, your style can keep you feeling comfortable as you learn to dance, making dancing that much more fun! Be yourself AND learn to dance, how cool is that!?
2. Know your leader.
Ladies, ladies, ladies. Let’s chat. Rule #1 on the dance floor is knowing who is in charge…on the dance floor. While we know how much FUN Swing dancing is, PLEASE let your guys decide when you will be turning and how often you will be doing so. It is a true challenge to wait for our leaders to whip out the cool moves on the dance floor-especially when he is a beginner dancer, but if we start to take over, he will never build his confidence. You do want a confident leader on the dance floor, right? Give him a chance to show you that he CAN be the man on the dance floor. What will it take to get him Swing ready? Private dance lessons, of course. For our leaders to shine, they must KNOW what they are doing and learn to do it right. Then they can go out and give this whole dancing thing a shot. Be patient, ladies, and let your men learn to dance so that they can sweep you off of your feet and give you a night to remember-whatever the occasion.
3. Give yourself time to learn to dance.
While those on the dance floor may make Swing dancing look so effortless, great dancers are never born. In fact, they probably put more miles on the dance floor than they do in their car making their footwork and style seem so complete. Be patient with yourself as you learn to dance and realize that with effort, great things can happen. The benefits of knowing how to Swing dance are endless, so keep plugging along and your time will pay off.
