What our dancers have said...
I used to believe I would never be able to dance. I couldn't keep track of rhythm and had no awareness of my feet. After taking the Swing Dance Course with Courtney and Eric I can now dance to any song with confidence AND flair!

2021 Midwest Swing Dance Co. Beginner Students
We are total dancing newbies with zero social dancing experience. We thought a dance class together as husband and wife might be a really fun date activity (and good exercise!), but with 3 little kiddos underfoot it was hard to commit to something. This Beginner Swing Course was such a fun solution! We were able to set it up in our own basement after the kids were down for the night and we had so much fun with it! We learned a lot, too. No more fear of dancing (or stepping on each other’s toes)! And we love that we can go back and brush up on a specific move anytime on our own time as time, energy, and kids allow.

2021 Midwest Swing Dance Co. Beginner Students
We took Swing Dance Lessons as beginners and really enjoyed it! The instructors gave clear instructions, while demonstrating the moves. They even made it fun to learn! Dancing is a great way to get some movement in. Who knew exercise could be this enjoyable? We found it to be fun and a new way to connect as a couple!

Meet the Instructors
Courtney Johnson and Eric Rowe have been hosting dances and in person classes in Northwest Iowa for five years. Their swing dance style isn't grounded in competitive or formal pedagogy, but rather born from a love of social dancing with friends, learning and creating new moves, and embracing the simple techniques over rote patterns and unflexible rules for how you have to dance.
