We're an ambidancetrous group, which means that we encourage everyone to both lead and follow, and most of our lessons are taught this way. Why ambidancetrous?

--> Learning both parts broadens your understanding of swing, and puts your dancing in context. (After all, if you only know one role, you only know half the dance!)

--> By learning the basics of both parts, you can eventually make a real choice between them, rather than just guessing about which you'll prefer.

--> Fosters an inclusive, LGBT-friendly environment.

--> Helps desexualize dance by reinforcing the idea that anyone can dance with anyone.

--> Doubles the number of people you can dance with… and you'll never again have to worry about not having enough leads or follows!
