Do I need to register with a partner?
You do not need a partner to register for the lessons. Solo jazz is danced alone; all our other dances are partner dances. Thanks to our 'ELEF' policy, it's not necessary to choose a role when registering and it is not possible register with someone else. The courses are filled up on a 'first come, first served' basis.
In the event that we have a course in which it is necessary to choose a dance role (a higher level course or one-off workshop) you will be placed on a waiting list until the number of leads and follows is more even.
Enjoying the partner connection
In our classes we rotate partners, which means we practice with different people throughout the lesson. As these are social dances where partner conversation and improvisation is at the heart of the dance, dancing with many different partners is the best way to learn how to swing dance and a great way to meet new people.
In partner dancing we communicate with our partner via a physical connection, by placing a hand on the partners back or shoulder, for example. Since you will be physically connecting to another person in class, please make sure to respect everyones personal boundaries: always ask if other person would like to dance and practice with you and check in with your partner if they are comfortable before and during connecting and dancing.
If someone asks you to dance or practice and you feel uncomfortable dancing with them, it is always okay to say no or to ask your partner to change their connection. At SiR we place strong value on providing a comfortable and safe environment for our students, so we also encourage you to express any concerns you may have to your teachers, both during or outside of class.
Find the right course for you
To select a course that is suitable for you, take a look at an overview of the levels to sign up for, and check the schedule. If you're new to partner dancing, and of the courses marked 'ELEF 1' or 'beginners' are the right courses for you to choose from. If you are currently not taking lessons with Swing in Rhythm and have previous swing dance experience, please contact us to see if it's better for you to take classes at a higher level.
