What is Swing Notes?

Swing Notes is a weekly article where Simon, who started Swing dancing in 1982, muses about life in the swing world, commentates on what’s going on and more often than not, the why & how you can get the most out of your dancing.

Diving into the annals of history & traditions that have been handed down to him, the aim is to be educational, thought-provoking & occasionally controversial, sharing his personal thoughts on the dance, music, history & today’s swing dance scene.

TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the Webb membership. It’s opened a new Swing World for me! It’s lovely being able to dip in and out and there’s so much choice and variety. Being able to really learn a routine properly and going back over tricky parts is invaluable.

Angela

SwingdanceUK has been a great addition to my dance practice. It was perfect and exactly what I needed for both solo practice and with a partner. Lots of ways for beginners to start and enough to keep regulars challenged. Highly recommend for anyone looking for home practice.

Rebecca

You have been nothing but brilliant......  We loved your videos and used them to learn a few 'flashy' moves for our wedding first dance.

  • How long will it take to learn to dance?
    Is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string? Of course it will be different for everyone. Having said that a total beginner should be able to start dancing after their first lesson and in your first year of dancing you should learn something new every week. After that the learning process slows down and that's when you just want to dip in and pick up some new ideas to work on or revisit some old classes to ‘brush up your scales’. The site is aimed at beginner dancers through to teachers looking for new ideas and inspiration. Whether you just want to dip in every now and then or follow one of our class series we recommend that you learn faster with regular practice, the more time you put in the more you will get out, so why not mark in your calendar a regular time slot to take at least one new class per week. We recommend for every hour of class video you watch spend the same amount of time practicing on your own.
