We recommend An Introduction to 6-Count Swing on DVD.

getting started

The swing scene in the San Francisco Bay Area is amazing. I started dancing here over 10 years ago and it is a blast. I got so hooked that I started teaching and performing more than 10 years ago. In San Francisco / San Jose / east Bay / Oakland, there are places to start dancing any day, and there are places to dance every day in the bay area. The best way to start and learn swing and lindy hop is to start with a beginning lesson, where you will learn swing basics (a simple 6 count dance). After you've had a few classes and you feel comfortable with the basics of swing, you can progress to lindy hop (8 count dance) - this is a great dance. Here are some photos of swing dancing in San Francisco.
