New year, new life?! New year, same life, and a new past-time activity?! New year, same life, a new past-time activity, and new friends?!
ECSB has you covered.
Come and join us for our Beginner Bootcamp on Jan 24th 2026 to try out different swing dance styles. We will focus on Lindy Hop, Charleston, and blues dancing.
After this one-day bootcamp you will be ready to dance with everyone in our dance community at ECSB (and anywhere else peeps swing and blues dance) or to decide that swing dancing is not your thing (but chances are very, very low ;-) ).
No previous dance experience or partner required.
HOURS:
2 - 6 pm: Learn Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Blues with us (with breaks)
6 - 8 pm: Dinner (we will order pizza; time to refuel, relax and socialize)
8 - 9:30pm: Social Dance (practice what you have learned today, have fun, enjoy the music)
