Join Us Wednesdays at Agate Hall
Even during the summer, the ELLA Swing Dance Club offers a dance every Wednesday night at Agate Hall. There is a beginning level drop-in lesson from 7–8pm and music goes from 8–10pm. The whole evening is only $5 per person.
In our beginning lessons, we offer different sets of instructors who each have their own teaching style. Despite their differences in style, they all have the desire and know how to teach you more than just the moves. All of our instructors also teach the connection and skills necessary to make the moves happen on the social floor. Come every week and find what works best for you.
