The Uptown Swing classes are on Tuesday nights, with a beginning Lindy Hop class followed by a continuing class, which is meant for everyone who has advanced out of the beginning class. Unlike other teachers, Peter posts video summaries of each class on his website so you can go back at any time and refresh your memory! These classes are the best value you will find today.

As with all great teachers, everyone will get something out of the class and you are guaranteed to be a better dancer at the end, no matter what your level.
