COVID Response
(scroll down for NYC Local Resources)

Welcome (Back) to Brooklyn Swings,

First off... WE HAVE MISSED YOU!

So times are a shiftin' and we have reopened as of January 2022. We are ready to support connecting your body with your mind creatively and for learning! Plus... PEOPLING. 

Our opening timeline...

January 2022: We reopened for weekly class requiring vaccination & masks to attend.

March 2022: We made masks optional in Williamsburg & Gowanus

September 2022: We are no longer checking Vaccination & Masks are optional in all locations Williamsburg, Gowanus & Prospect Heights.

We are still looking forward to bringing back a Brooklyn Swings social dance.

Offering:
- Private Lessons
- Weekly Group Classes
       Partnered & Solo classes
​       Wash/Sanitize hands right before class
       We will default on rotating partners in class, due to it's extreme learning benefits, but for the first time EVER we will welcome/allow people to stay with their own partner and not rotate upon request. 
​   
Feel free to reach out with ideas, suggestions, recommendations as we believe a conversation is better than silence. And besides, in the big picture, we are all doing this together. 

Take care over there.

Keep Swingin'
Always,
Jenny Sowden
