Track Descriptions

Track 1: This track is for newer dancers who have been keeping pace with The University Swingers Beginner or General Group Lessons. Lessons in this track will bridge the gap between current knowledge of East Coast and Charleston and the next step in dancing: Lindy Hop.

Track 2: This track is for those dancers who have been dancing for a few years. The instructors will push you to think about your dancing in new ways and encourage you to try new ideas.

Track 3: This is for the most advanced dancers at the event. The instructors will challenge you with new ways to think about old movements, developing partnerships at a new level, and thinking about the way you connect to the music and to your partner. This track requires an audition.

St. Louis Shag Track: This is an all-levels track that will take you from the very beginning of the St. Louis Shag basic to the nitty gritty of what every great St. Louis Shag dancer should know. We are happy to offer a track in a dance style that is native to our state!
