Riverside Swing is Brockville's top social dancing school, specializing in the art of vintage dances from the 1920s to the 1950s. Swing Dancing is a versatile dance style that includes Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Jive, and more, all traditionally danced to Jazz and Big Band Swing music. However, the skills learned at Riverside Swing can be applied to partnered social dancing to any style of music.
The classes, performances, and workshops at Riverside Swing are led by experienced teachers who are passionate about sharing their love for dance. Jamie Blair, a former member of the professional Lindy Hop team SAF Squad, brings her background in ballet, figure skating, and competitive sports to her teaching. Vincent Bedard, also a member of SAF Squad, combines his love for music and dance to create dynamic and engaging classes for students.
At Riverside Swing, dancers can join classes alone or with a friend and can expect to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy the experience of learning how to dance in a friendly and social environment. The school offers classes in Brockville and surrounding communities, with regular workshops and events in Ottawa and Montreal.
