to fill all those roomy moments. This intermediate+
class is dedicated to exploring emotional expression
through your partnership, connection, and musicality.

Katie and Paolo's workshops are held at Huron Ave on
most Swing City Saturdays this Fall and hopefully continue

sure to stick around for the music and dancing at Swing
City with Paolo and Katie in the house from 9pm on.
Workshop attendees receive a discounted cover charge
for Swing City: $10 regular, $8 for students.
Dance
lessons at Swing City
New to Swing Dancing or already an expert? No worries,
we've got something for everyone!
Join us for a beginner swing lesson, or if you're
a more experienced dancer, we offer a concurrent intermediate
class. Classes begin at 8pm promptly, so be sure to
arruve a few minutes early.
Classes have been HUGE lately, so be sure to come for
those. Beginner and intermediate levels are concurrent
so most of our regular dancers will be able to take
a non-beginner class with our rotation of some
of Boston's top dance instructors, yet still bring your
friends who might be more comfortable at a the intro
level. Moreover, the classes are a GREAT way to meet
people if you're new to the scene, single, or just feeling
social!
The intro class will be single step East Coast, while
the intermediate class generally assumes you can dance
a triple step and are comfortable with a variety of
basic moves. The intermediate class is different each
week, generally Charleston. We sometimes features guest
instructors.
If either lesson is too hard or simple for you, one
can just switch to the other one as needed.
