We had such a great time at the beginner workshop, and the students did great!
We shared Charleston basics, playful elements, and a bit of mambo steps (inspired by the 1950s mambo craze in Harlem).
To join us, try out our weekly drop-in beginner classes, or a weekend workshop! Find out all about us at swingstep.com.
