Gay & Lesbian Couples
Just Dance!
Whether you’re preparing for your marriage, civil union, commitment ceremony or just want to learn how to dance together, Big City Swing’s staff of talented and patient teachers will ensure that you move seamlessly together through numerous turns and a photo-worthy finish.
To accommodate your preferred learning style, budget, and time line, you may select Group Classes or Private Lessons or a combination of both.
Group Classes
Depending on your agenda (and we all have agendas), we’ll steer you towards our Swing or Wedding Dance group classes.
The Swing classes:
- Meet for 1 hour, once per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
- Rotate partners to ensure you’ll be able to lead and follow each other and anyone else who would like to dance with you.
- Feature swingin jazz, from the likes of Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Buble.
- Are social, entertaining and informative. You will learn A LOT of moves to impress on any dance floor.
The Wedding Dance classes:
- Meet for 1 hour 15 minutes, once per week for 3 consecutive weeks.
- Do not rotate partners, as participants enroll as couples and stay together for the entire class.
- Feature traditional and contemporary first dance songs perfect if you are preparing for a very special spotlight dance or you attend numerous weddings, corporate dinners and the like.
- Celebrate (not that we want to ruin the surprise) all you’ve learned with a series finale toast.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are a fabulous option when,
- Your travel schedule prevents you from committing to a weekly class.
- You need to learn to dance to a particular song, stat!
- You enjoy the personal attention of a private space and individual instruction.
During your private lessons, you and your partner will work with one instructor who is fluent in both leading and following. The material will be based on your individual requests, and your teacher will move at a pace that is comfortable for you both.
Private lessons are scheduled by appointment and available 7 days/week. You may bring your own music, or we will help you choose the song which fits the occasion and shows off your new skills.
