So many dances... so little time!
           A big part to enjoying your dance lessons is picking the right dance to learn.  The difference between dances is often due to differences in rhythm, timing and music.   Taking dance lessons should be something fun and relaxed.  If you're feeling that you've got two left feel, maybe you're just learning the wrong dance!

Lifts & Aerials....
       One of the most exciting parts of swing dancing are the lifts and aerials.  Although they always draw a crowd, they account for a very small part of swing dancing (some dances don't allow them at all).  For those interested, UMSD offers a basic lift and aerial workshop each term.  Advanced workshops are available if there demand.
details and descriptions of each dance will be available soon
