      How to get instructor approval: you need to dance with an instructor. You can come 15 minutes before class or you can take the Level I class (if before Level II) and treat it as a warm up then dance with a teacher before classes and pay for one class that night since it was due to leveling.
​

Blues

Brooklyn Swings now offers Blues partner dance classes. Blues, similar to Swing, includes a series of styles. You will hear musical artist such as Duke Ellington, Etta James, Nina Simone, John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf and more. Come learn how to partner dance to this American Folk sound called the Blues.
