Weekly Lessons
Every Monday in the school year:
Come to Wallace Hall in the JDUC to catch our weekly lessons and dancing.
7-8 pm: Specialty lesson
8-9 pm: Beginner lesson
9-11 pm: Social dancing

Beginner Lessons
No partner required! No experience required! Come and learn everything you need to have fun on the dance floor, every Monday in the JDUC.

Specialty Lessons
No partner required! Some experience required! If you want a bit more challenge than you're getting out of the beginner lesson, show up an hour early on Monday nights to learn some slightly harder moves.

Progressive Lessons
On Thursdays from 7:00 - 8:15 we'll be holding a series of progressive lessons that build on each-other and will help you get a leg up on your swing skills. As with the beginner lessons there is no experience required; but you have to go to every lesson to keep up. Signing up with a partner is encouraged. Partners will be rotating regularly, however we try to keep the leader/follower ratio even, and signing up with a partner will ensure both of you have the chance to take the class. Those who sign up without a partner will be put on a waiting list until they can be matched with a corresponding leader or follower. These lessons will cost $30 per person.

Social Dancing
After both the Monday and Thursdays lesson, stick around to learn, practice, mingle and have fun with dancers of all skill levels.
Membership
Although our events are open to the public, membership has its benefits! Members receive free admission to our weekly dances, including free instruction at the start of each dance, as well as discounts for special events such as band nights and road trips. Even if you don't want to be a member, you can join our mailing list. You'll be informed of weekly club news, the latest events, and how to get involved with the club.
Summer Swing - Posted Wednesday June 11th, 2008 [11:52]

It’s that time of year again! The weather is warm, the flowers are in bloom, and Summer Swing Kingston is officially back! Every Sunday evening (weather permitting, see below!) from June 1st until Labour Day, we will be holding free lessons and a social dance according to the following schedule, so come out, bring your friends, and help us enjoy the summer with some awesome lindy hop!

6-7 pm - INTRO TO SWING: Every week we have a beginner-friendly swing dance lesson! Don’t have a partner? Don’t have dance experience? Can’t tell your right foot from your left? Not a problem, as we’ll start with the basics so that you won’t be lost. As well, the lessons are not progressive which means that you can drop in any week! 7-8:30 pm-ish - SOCIAL DANCING: Meet new people, practise the dancing you learned in the lesson, listen to some great music, and enjoy the sunset over the lake!

Admission is FREE! Our venue is the NEWLANDS PAVILION (a.k.a. "the gazebo"), located in Macdonald Park on King St. at Barrie St. (beside Murney Tower). For directions, please see http://queensswingclub.com/about/venues/default.asp#entry_Gazebo

Some things to keep in mind:
* We welcome all members of the Queen's and Kingston community.
** We recommend dressing in layers, as it can get chilly near the water in the evening.
*** If it rains on Sunday after 3:00pm (or looks very likely that it will), we will CANCEL and meet NEXT SUNDAY instead.
