Well at the parties of course!
There’s so much happening over summer, sometimes we have bands playing and you can simply watch and learn the way swing dances were originally spread: through copying others.
If that’s too far out of your comfort zone or you’d prefer a little more clarity in your first attempts, that’s what the more organised forms of learning are for:
Sometimes we teach a a short class of swing basics right at the party so that newbies don’t get lost on the dancefloor:
8th September at Biotop Radotín, free taster after the first set of the band
from the beginning of September every Wednesday at NTK 6.45–7.45 pm a full beginner level class for 250,–
– no registration
– no partner
– no experience
just come and learn something new every week
