We’re gutted, but glad our country is all working hard together to keep a lid on COVID-19 and keep each other safe! Due to the level change:We are postponing the start of our next block by one week. This means there are no Full Swing classes running the week of 1-7  March. We hope to kick off again the week of Monday 8 March!We very much hope that the levels will be going down soon, and we will keep you updated about our plans as we learn more through the coming days. If it looks like we will be staying at Level 2 for longer we will develop a longer term plan and let you know what we can safely and comfortably offer, but for now:No Full Swing classes this weekPlease spread the word to any friends from class that may not see this, and keep an eye out for updates here, our Facebook page or your email if you are a current student. We know it’s super frustrating to have uncertainty and delays, we are feeling it too – but we are committed to the team effort, and keeping you all safe, healthy, and rearing to go when we can start back up again.In the meantime, now is the perfect time to sign up for classes (hopefully!) starting March 8th – check out the timetable and descriptions below and email dance@fullswing.co.nz for more information or to book your spot!Thanks everyone, and while we are sad not to dance with you we hope you have a lovely week! Beginner ClassesWant to get hip to the jazz jive and learn to dance?Our next block of classes starts the week of March 8th!Beginner Lindy Hop classesWednesdays at 6pmBeginner Tap Dance classesTuesdays at 6pmOpen Blues classesTuesdays at 7pmOpen Solo Jazz classesThursdays at 6pmBeginner Balboa classesThursdays at 7pmSpaces are filling fast, so get in QUICK!All classes are dependent on numbers – so register your interest if you want to come along!Email dance@fullswing.co.nz to register for classes!Full ScheduleEmail dance@fullswing.co.nz to register Beginner Lindy Hop BootcampNever danced before and want to give it go?Our next Beginner Bootcamp  is Saturday 27 March!Get some new moves for the new year, learn all the beginner swing dance basics in a single day, bring your friends and have a blast – no experience or partner required!Saturday 27 March, 10am-5pmFull Swing Studios, 80 Cuba St (entrance on Dixon St)$75 pre payment (payment details sent after registration) or $90 on the dayThese bootcamps sell out weeks in advance, so book your space ASAP!Email dance@fullswing.co.nz to register for bootcamp!Social Dancing & EventsBlock PartyAt the end of  the block we get together, DJ our favourite swing tunes all night and have an awesome dance party at the studio!Block Party is a chance to get to know people from other classes and levels, find some inspiration, eat some nibbles and catch the social dancing bug.Dance StylesWhen someone says “swing dance”, Lindy Hop is likely what they’ve got in mind. It’s energetic, quirky, irreverent, and dynamic… but most of all it’s fun!In the ballrooms of 1930s Balboa Island, California, the jazz was fast and hot and the dance floors were tightly packed – and Balboa was the beautiful result!An elegant, energetic swing dance with intricate footwork, a close connection and incredible style.The roaring twenties were a decade of decadence, rebellion, glamour and social change,and at the forefront leading the way was the biggest dance craze in history! The Charleston turned all the accepted rules of dance upside down and inside out, and set the scene for all the dancing we know and love today! Our solo jazz classes focus on moves from the first half of the 20th century (and a little bit more).The lights are low, it’s the end of the night and the party’s moved from the hectic jumping jazz of the ballrooms to the houses of Harlem.The rent parties, the speakeasies, the back alley dive bars and dingy saloons, where the bootleg liquor gets passed around and the music gets real slow – that’s where you find the blues!Blues dance is all about music, connection, and creativity. It’s slow, it’s groovy, and it’s definitely very cool!What could be better than stomping your feet and making a lot of noise? Stomping your feet and making a lot of noise with style!The iconic dance of vaudeville and musicals, tap dancing is one of the most widely recognised, entertaining and above all  fun styles of dance around. Come along and follow in the footsteps of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!Class PricingCasual Classes – $20 Great option for• Trying it out for the first time• Visiting from out of town• If you have a busy scheduleFive-Class Pass – $85• The best value, most popular option!• Save 15% Off Casual Price• $75 with Student ID or CSC• Valid across all of our classes• Clip it like a train ticket each time you attend, so if you miss a class you don’t miss out!Unlimited Pass – $250• Six weeks of unlimited evening classes, including workshop week classes• Most cost effective option if you’re doing 3 or more classes per week• All the dance you can handle – the more classes you attend, the more you save!
