Swing Dance originated in the Harlem district of New York City in the 1920s, during a time when radios were not yet widely used. People would gather in dance halls of various sizes to meet new friends and enjoy the popular music of the time - swing jazz - through dancing. As a social dance, Swing Dance is not restricted to a fixed dance partner or specific moves, but rather emphasizes personal expression and human connections, making it accessible even to those without dance experience.

Quarryside is thrilled to partner with Swing Pocket and establish a series of Swing Dance events, demonstrating the different dimensions of Swing Dance. Join us for the Swing Dance Beginner Class and immerse yourself in this retro and spontaneous dance language.
