Some classes are one-offs or ad-hoc and don’t necessarily have a description here. Always check our Facebook page or reach out to us if you have any questions about class content.

Some classes are also a progressive series; you won’t necessarily be able to drop-in in the middle of a block or series depending on your skill level. Again always reach out to us about class content.

• No partner necessary. We do rotations (but you can bring someone to dance with if you want!)
• No registration required. Show up and pay the day of class (but e-transfer is nice!)
• We offer a mix of beginner, intermediate, advanced classes. If you’re a complete beginner look out for our beginner series! If you are unsure, ask us by email (frederictonswing@gmail.com) or direct message us on our social media profiles
• No set roles. Dance lead or follow as you please (but choose one role for that class!)
• Classes are usually 7:00 pm Monday at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre Auditorium on the second floor (unless stated otherwise)
• Usually $15 per class
• Included in class price is any social dance time after class
• Also included in the class price is any second class that might happen on that day (you only need to pay $15 once, so to get the best value on two class days, show up in time for the first class and pay $15 to attend both that one and the second class)
• One can show up at 8:00 pm and just pay $10 for social dance time
• We are completely volunteer run!
