How it works
We offer three different "Level 1" four-week class series, each focusing on different entry-level moves, footwork and technique, etc.
Each Level One series can be taken in any order, but all must be taken at least once to build a solid foundation on which to advance to intermediate.
LEVEL 1: ARCH TURNS & TRADING PLACES
(All welcome, no prerequisites)
This beginner series introduces single-step, six-count footwork, leading and following moves in closed and open positions including the arch turn, inside turn, outside turn, belt pass, neck pass and more.

What our students say...
"I never thought my husband would agree to dance lessons after 30 years of marriage!
We were so uncoordinated (two left feet), we both felt hopeless, but Linda and Chester have incredible patience and what began three years ago in anticipation of our daughter's wedding, turned into a fun activity we do together. My husband really enjoys it.
Sometimes I arrive at class in a bad mood and always leave in a great mood. I'm 64 and when I'm dancing I feel 34! The magic of dance! "
Nancy & Dan - Highland, NY
"I wanted to take Swing Dance lessons for years but was too afraid to go by myself. I finally worked up the nerve to go to classes and love it!
Linda and Chester are wonderful teachers, keeping everything simple and clear and not moving ahead too quickly or too slowly. I'm looking forward to continuing with them and the dance community that they foster.
I’m so glad I took the chance and did something I'd been wanting to do for so long. I feel like I found the right crowd."
Sarah - New Paltz, NY
"What started out as a quest to learn to do the basics of swing has evolved into so much more. I have not only learned the basics but have moved on to dance moves I never thought I could do.
A widow embracing the single scene, dancing with both of you has given me laughter, friends and a new lease on life. Thank you."
Judy - New Paltz, NY
