This new program has been a great success! In just a few weeks we've seen dancers find new passion and enthusiasm, and make visible progress again in their dancing!

The Goals

• Bring people together to dance with each other
• Complement existing online classes

How It Works

1. Submit a video!
   • You and your dance partner submit a video
   • Up to 5 minutes
   • Dancing any SwingX style: Lindy Hop, WCS, Blues, Balboa, Fusion
   • Don't overthink it: it doesn't need to be the best or worst of your dancing. Just put on the camera and whatever happens, happens!
2. You'll get:
   • A coaching video to break down the dance video you recorded, analyzing what's working in your dancing, what isn't, why, and how you can fix it
   • A training plan to focus on what will benefit you most!
   • Possibly links to other resources that might help you work on those specific skills
   • It will be customized to YOUR needs -- whatever will benefit you most, which might be different from one week to the next

   • And written feedback notes
