Find out more at www.GottaSwingCharlotte.com Whether you're an experienced dancer or have never been on the hardwood before, we have something for you. We are a licensee of the largest swing-only dance instruction and promotion company in America, Gottaswing.com, with over 4,000 students annually. No previous dance experience is required, and we actively welcome all ages at all of our events. Not

just one single dance, the term "swing dancing" refers to a family of dances that evolved from 1920's Charleston into the Lindy Hop - also known as Jitterbug. We teach the original steps and styles from the Swing Era that we have learned directly from original masters like Frank Manning and Jean Veloz. We teach social swing dancing that is easy to use in real-life situations. We do not separate our students into different levels (e.g., bronze, silver, gold, etc.); nor do we offer an advanced level. Our philosophy is that swing dancing should be FUN, and our goal is to make sure that everyone gets on the dance floor and has a good time. A stress-free environment where everyone is welcome and has fun. If you're looking for a great way to get some exercise while meeting new people, look no further. We're certain that once you get started you'll be hooked on the best music and dancing around.
