Our Lessons

Swing and Sway is a unique dance school, which fosters a passion for dancing in all its students, using over 30 years of experience and proven success. We specialize in effective dance teaching of Latin, Ballroom, Salsa, and other dances. We ensure that all our students will progress quickly from their first lesson to the dance floor. And – most importantly – we do all of it with a lot of fun!

We teach dancing as a language. Our students can dance with anyone who has learned the same style of dancing. We teach steps and variations and not structured routines. We also teach the roles of the leader and follower in relation to each other. We train our dancers to use musicality and sensuality. Our way of teaching is light and gradual. We start with the basic necessities to start dancing and then progress as much as the student wants to progress.
