Me and my partner love coming to the Rock and Roll classes - we didn’t think we would love it so much. Big thanks to the Swing Katz!

This was my first experience with Swingkatz. It started on time, tick, the instructors knew their content well and instructed/communicated well and both had great personalities for this type of work. I went as a single person and was impressed how the class worked to avoid any awkwardness that this could present. I have done similar dancing in the past so was quite comfortable with the speed of the class however if I had no experience with it and/or was a bit uncoordinated the speed of progression would have been too fast. I appreciated the spreading out of the more experienced dancers to help the new comers learn. Overall, a positive experience- thanks. BTW - priced well.
