The Staff

Instructors

Instructors provide the guidance and knowledge of the dance to other dancers. They impart not only the wisdom and the technical knowledge of the art, but also instill their confidence and their creativity into other dancers. Instructors provide the ongoing strength of the community by sharing that information with their peers and students.

Instructors come from all skill backgrounds, whether they were trained from an instructor at their earlier career or from multiple workshops and developed over time. They may even have prior teacher training skills or proper form from fundamental skills. They are one voice of many teachers, and as a student looking for instructors to work with, it is important to be open minded that one instructor’s teaching method is not the only way to convey the technical idea. Travel and learn from multiple different instructors and find the one that works best for you.

Guest instructors are invited to teach at First Saturday Swing at almost every event. Every month different topics are introduced to keep the concepts fresh and challenging for the intermediate class. In addition, some instructors excel well in conveying their ideas across a larger audience (and might be more suitable for a beginner class).
