Starting Tuesday January 11th at 7:00pm we have one hour INTRO TO SWING/JITTERBUG classes with Mark Muthersbaugh and Liz Miller.
This 5 week class runs until February 9th.

This class will be an introduction to the most well known form of swing dancing; the Jitterbug. This dance was originally made famous in the 1940s and 50s, but is still enjoyed today all across the world. We will dance to all kinds of music from big band to blues to early rock and roll. You will learn several basic foot work patterns, how to connect with a partner and socially lead and follow a variety of moves, turns and spins in open and closed position. There are many opportunities in the Cleveland area to go out and dance and this is a great way to get involved, meet people and get some exercise too! Don’t be afraid! This dance is very easy and fun to learn! Please wear comfy shoes and clothing.
THIS IS THE CLASS TO TAKE IF YOU ARE BRAND NEW TO PARTNERED DANCING.

Starting Tuesday January 11th at 8:00pm we have one hour INTERMEDIATE JITTERBUG classes with Mark Muthersbaugh and Liz Miller.
This 5 week class runs until February 9th.

If you can do the triple step basic while holding a decent conversation; then congratulations, you have just been promoted to Intermediate Jitterbug! In this class we will work on some fancier, flashier, more complicated variations on moves you already know, learn some fun new moves, and tackle some interesting footwork patterns. We’ll also sharpen up your leading and following skills. Yep, all that in 5 weeks! No partner needed. We rotate partners in class and are always needing extra ladies and men. Dress in comfortable clothing and wear shoes that are not sticky.

These classes will be held at the Brecksville Center for the Arts at 8997 Highland Dr, Brecksville, Ohio 44141. BCA is located very near the intersection of 77 and 82.
