LESSONS

COMPLIMENTARY INTRO LESSON with Daniel McClain and Jan Woraratanadharm- No RSVP required. It comes with your event ticket and is open to all.
If you’ve never danced before, start with this complimentary introductory lesson from 7-8PM. You’ll learn some history of the dance, basic footwork and rhythm, and current Swing dance culture so you can dance all night and make new friends. This is a great choice if this is your first Swing dance or if you've only danced Lindy Hop a few times prior.

NEW! INTERMEDIATE LESSON with LIMITED SPOTS - $5 add-on
We're launching a new option of a ticketed non-beginner level lesson from 7-8PM!

Jackie and Joel Plys, international Swing dance instructors and owners of Retro Rhythm, will teach a 1-hour add-on lesson for more experienced dancers to enhance their skills before the live band.

This month's lesson will focus on Sugar Pushes - master this foundation figure plus learn styling & variations. Classically a 6-count move, but does it have to be?!? Join in the fun & increase your Sugar Push prowess

This class will be held at the same time as the Intro lesson from 7PM-8PM in a different room at Murphy School.

Please note: The class is limited due to venue capacity. You must register with a dance-role choice for the class to keep the room balanced. This is a brand new program that is in beta-testing and will only be offered at Murphey School location dances right now. We are very excited to offer this program and thank you for your patience as we iron out the wrinkles.Your source for community, connection, and a little magic.

We’re still finalizing the details of this event, but be sure to check back often and sign up to get updates in your inbox.
