The goal of this activity was twofold: to foster a welcoming atmosphere among local swing dance instructors and to encourage participants to step outside their comfort zones and try something new. By promoting physical activity and innovative partner interactions, we aimed to enhance integration and social cohesion. Additionally, we delved into the rich history of swing dance, exploring its origins and evolution over the decades.
After a short warm-up, the instructors taught us fundamental swing dance moves. To encourage interaction, partners were switched every few minutes. As the session progressed, the dance steps became more complex. To conclude, we had an open practice session where everyone could refine their skills or socialize with instructors, volunteers, and fellow students. The instructors capped off the event with a captivating swing dance performance, showcasing the art form in its full glory.
