Lessons

If you can walk, you can dance!

At Next Step Studios, we believe dancing to be a fun and energizing activity that everyone can do. Swing Dancing is a partnered dance developed in the late 1920s, '30s and '40s.  It is often danced to big band, jazz and blues style music.

** Each of our sessions runs for 6 weeks. **

** No partner or special shoes are required for any of the classes. **
