DANCE STUDIOS/TEACHERS How does one learn to swing dance in NYC?
Many of the clubs have dance lessons taught by one of the dance schools.
Best is to go to one of the independent dance schools --some schools for swing
in New York City are listed below. The schools provide low pressure high quality
group lessons. You sign up on a monthly cycle for 4 group classes -- appprox.
$60 - $75 a month, $90 or so for two groups classes. You do not need a partner
and partners rotate in class.
Some NYC Swing Dance Schools. List of teachers is not complete and is
confined to the those who teach group classes on a regular basis. Please e-mail

- Margaret Batiuchok, 238 E. 14th St. 2nd and 3rd, 598-0154. The dean
of swing dancing in New York City, a founder and president of the New York
Swing Dance Society, dazzling dancer, and noted teacher. I recommend Margaret
to people who want to learn the fundamentals of all swing dancing, not just
a particular style.

Acrobatic Rock'n Roll and also has a 1st place, American Swing Dance Championship,

Map Co-Owners Elena Iannuci and Teddy Kern. Janice Wilson and Paolo Lanna,
1997 ASDC Lindy Hop Champions teach here as well. Janice also runs the Grit
Ginders Lindy performance dance team. Elena is a well respected Savoy Style
Lindy Hop teacher and performed in the Big Apple Lindy Hoppers. Dance Manhattan
provides free swing lessons most nights at Swing 46. The studio is also known
for West Coast Swing with it novel rotating roster of visiting national dancers
and dance champions and its Tango and Latin programs. The Avis of dance studios.
Special Feature Sunday Crash Courses in Lindy Hop: Dance Manhattan
runs these every month or so and in my view, this it the best way to learn
to dance from scratch. It is 3 1/2 hours and is about $35. Then, if you go
to the Swing Society on Sunday night and practice what you learn, in one day,
you might actually know something and can "get by."
