Country Swing

Spin & Dip: Country Swing with Kristen

Keep the energy high and the boots moving! Immediately following Two Step, Country Swing with Kristen turns up the volume and the speed. This class is all about having fun, letting loose, and mastering the spins and dips that make country dancing so exciting to watch and perform.

In this 45-minute session, Kristen guides you through the high-energy world of Country Swing. Unlike the traveling nature of Two Step, this style allows for more creativity in a smaller space, making it perfect for crowded dance floors. Kristen focuses on building your confidence with rotational movements and teaching you how to safely execute those impressive moves you see at the dance hall.

What you can expect in class:

• Fun over Perfection: Country Swing is known for being less rigid than traditional ballroom swing. We focus on rhythm, energy, and having a blast.

• Spins & Turns: Learn the mechanics of continuous turns and how to maintain your balance while spinning.

• Dips & Tricks: Kristen teaches safe techniques for dips and leans, adding that "wow" factor to your dancing.

• Improvisation: Learn how to mix and match moves so you can dance to any song, with any partner, without a set routine.

No partner is required! We rotate partners throughout the class to help everyone learn to lead and follow different styles. Wear shoes that stay on your feet (boots are great!) and be ready to sweat.
