Solo Jazz

Solo Jazz is where swing dancing began – the authentic, energetic style from the 1920s that formed the foundation for all partner swing dances. At SwingShoes, you’ll learn iconic moves like the Charleston and Suzie Q while developing your personal style and musicality.

We offer three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Our dedicated local instructors bring passion and expertise to every class, helping you connect with the joyful spirit that has kept swing dancing alive for nearly a century.
