Swing Rueda is a circle dance where couples exchange partners in sync with each other following moves from a caller. Swing Rueda uses classic Lindy Hop moves as well as fun, playful moves adapted from Salsa Rueda. Our four-week progressive Swing Rueda class covers all the basic Swing Rueda moves so you can join in our Swing Rueda at Wednesday Waltz Etc. and Saturday Swing nights. No partner necessary BUT you must know the basic Lindy Hop swingout or take the Lindy Hop Boot Camp course immediately before the Swing Rueda class.

Want to learn Swing Rueda, but don’t know the Lindy Hop basics? Then take the Lindy Hop crash course. We’ll get you dancing quickly so you can join our Swing Rueda Class immediately following the Lindy Hop Boot Camp Course. Each class will add one or two new moves that we will then use in the Swing Rueda Class so you will get an opportunity to practice what you learn right away. No experience necessary, no partner necessary
The Lindy Hop is the classic Savoy Ballroom swing dance of the 1930s and 40s. Its high-energy moves allow for individual expression as couples dance to the beat of big band music.
