Do I need any experience to join?

No, absolutely not. Our drop-in class on Saturdays and our Lindy 1 progressive series is built to teach everyone to dance from the ground up! No swing dancing - or any dancning! - experience required!

Do I need a partner?

No partner required! We rotate between partners frequently during classes, and we encourage dancing with as many others as possible. However, it is also acceptable to dance with a single partner.

How much is it to get in for lessons?

You can join a series of lessons for $45 for our six-week progressive series. You can also drop in for a lesson at our weekly Swing Factory for $5.

What if I'm not a Dalhousie University or University of King's College student?

We welcome you with open arms! DKS strives to be an inclusive and accessible community of dancers, with no restrictions on who can come and learn to dance. We invite everyone to respectfully join us for a class or on the social dance floor!

Why aren't pictures of me published on the website?

For the sake of maintaining consistent quality throughout the website, all photographs must pass a quality test in order for them to be published. Too dark, or too blurry, and they don't make it, unfortunately. Have you checked our Instagram or Facebook?

Is there regular social dancing?

You bet - our Saturday Swing Factory! It's our largest turn out every week, every time! New dancers and experienced veterans of the dance all gather here for an evening full of dance and merriment!

What about every year?

Seaside Shimmy is our annual workshop weekend, bringing dancers from across Atlantic Canada together to learn from the best instructors, and with live music at Swingin’ with the Fishes!
