Monday Swing: Weekly Practicum & Social Dance
We’re changing things up.
PLS is adding NEW AND IMPROVED programming for Mondays.
We’re keeping the cozy, practice-focused vibe. In addition, we’ll highlight monthly themes for mini workshops and other exciting opportunities. Dancing from 7-10 with a lesson from 7-8.
What’s a Practicum?
A practicum is a dance event that’s primarily about working on your dance. It’s appropriate for all levels and any degree of “seriousness” about swing dance.
Monday Swing is a great opportunity for practice time, although you can treat it like a regular social dance if you like (we’re DJing great music throughout the event).
The biggest difference is the etiquette: normally, you don’t offer or ask for feedback on the social floor.
PLS teachers are on hand to help you get through sticky spots, but the time is also great for working independently.
