4-Week Beginner Country Swing Course

Our 4-week Level I country swing course is designed for those who have never had formal country swing instruction. Even if you’ve been dancing for years, you owe it to yourself to learn the newest country swing basic step (it has changed) as well as all the ins and outs of how to dip, lean and spin correctly. Even if you’ve been dancing for years, but you aren’t sure if you are doing things correctly, or your confidence isn’t as strong as it could be, this is a great place to start. You’ll gain the confidence needed to dance with anyone at any level.

You will start with the modern country swing step then continue to add easy but fun moves each class building on what you’ve learned. You’ll learn over 20 moves and variations by the end of the course so you can look great and dance with confidence. Classes will also touch on advanced topics like musicality, connection and flow. This will allow you to look more polished and smooth so dancing is more fun for you and your partner.

Lots! If you are the kind of person who learns best by doing, don’t worry. There will be lots of practice each class so you can build muscle memory and learn each move. If you want even more practice, you can stay for the open dance session after class free of charge!

You do not need a partner to take the course. In fact, everyone in class will rotate and dance with everyone else throughout each class (for those willing). This allows you to progress faster and makes you better prepared if you go out dancing in public. It also helps build friendships and makes the group stronger so everyone learns more. In addition, everyone in the class will be invited to a private Facebook group where you can ask questions and get feedback from your new friends in the class and our private community.

There are 2 classes per week for 4 weeks. This frequency will allow you to build your skills faster with less chance to forget what you’ve learned.

This is not a drop-in class. You are taking the course with other folks who are making the 4-week commitment to dance better. This allows us to move along at a faster pace so you learn more in less time. Not only will you be a better dancer, but you will be better foundation than most people who have been dancing for years. If you want an occasional class, you may want to check out our Level II and III “drop in” style class.

Classes run every Monday and Wednesday from 7 – 8pm. We start a new course on the first Monday of every month unless it falls on or near a holiday.

Cost for the course is $240 each if you are signing up as a single, or $200 each as a couple. You save over 60% off our private class rate. We accept Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, Cash or Cards. Payment plans are available. Grants are available for those in need.

Classes will be held at the beautiful Millennium Dance Complex 2844 Logan St, Nashville TN 37211. It is the premier dance facility in Nashville.

Absolutely not. Any attire is acceptable if it allows movement and makes you feel comfortable. Shoes or boots with hard, smooth bottoms such as leather or hard plastic are best. Dance shoes with suede soles are even better if you plan to dance a ton (Swayd is a common brand). Worn out sneakers with minimal traction will also work. If you don’t have any of the above, don’t worry. We will have “dance socks” you can borrow that allow any footwear to work. If you like them, you can keep them for just a few bucks.
