On February 24th, we are bringing back Gary The Showman! Gary is an on stage performer showcasing vintage jazz & rock n roll songs that brings a great deal of energy to the dance floor. We recommend to check out our photos & videos on our Facebook page of his performance to get an idea of the kinds of show he brings to ACSR.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: In Shag 2, our instructors will cover intermediate fundamentals to get you to start using the experience taught in Level 1 and applying it to learn complex concepts like advanced turn variations, tandem, musicality, and combo moves. You must be comfortable with level 1 prior to taking level 2.
NOTE: While ACSR provides a variety of lessons from many talented instructors, our classes can only offer you so much. If you are looking to become a better dancer, whether it's for the purpose of just being a better dancer or to even potentially teach lessons yourself in the future, you must contribute a great deal to the learning process. This may include, self practice several times a day, getting more familiarized with swing music, going or hosting practice sessions, attending other classes from different organizations, and attending other events. The instructors who provided lessons each week all started at the same level, with little to no experience. Their passion & drive for the dance is how our instructors came to possessing the knowledge & talent they have today. Their love for swing dance is what drives them to share that passion with all of you. So practice when you can and attend other events and lessons! We promise you will get the results you are looking for!
