Classes

Groove Juice Swing offers classes on a broad range of Jazz Age and Swing Era dances: Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, vernacular jazz dance, and more. We offer classes for dancers of all levels, from Beginner to Advanced.  Not sure where to start out? Check out the Curriculum or FAQ pages! 

Most of our classes focus on Lindy Hop, the original partnered swing dance created during the late 1920s by Black Americans in Harlem that evolved alongside jazz music in the '30s and '40s. It was a street dance that allowed for rhythmic improvisation and social dancing, and is now danced in almost every major city in the world. Lindy Hop is an energetic and joyful dance that allows both partners to express their individuality while dancing together!  For more information on other dance styles we teach, check out the Dance Styles page!
