What to Expect at the Sweetheart Swing
The evening starts with East Coast Swing lessons taught by instructors who know how to get even nervous dancers moving across the floor. By the time the live band starts playing, you’ll have the basics down. The dinner option includes catering from Olive Garden before you hit the dance floor. If you’re coming later or prefer to skip dinner, the dance-only ticket still gets you dessert, the full lesson, and access to the live music all evening. Dancing in a museum filled with vintage aircraft creates an ambiance you won’t find at your typical venue.
Why East Coast Swing Works
East Coast Swing is beginner-friendly. The six-count basic step is easy to pick up, and the instructors know how to break down the fundamentals so you can start dancing within minutes. Once you’ve got the basic step, East Coast Swing gives you room to add your own style. The lead-follow dynamic makes it social and interactive, turning the dance floor into a place where you’re connecting with your partner rather than just moving to music.
