About Ryan
We specialize in a very fun and exciting form of swing dancing called Collegiate Shag.
I loved swing music, and I wanted to learn the dance that my grandparents did to that music. They were too old to teach me much. But I eventually found other people to teach me. Shortly after that, a swing dancing revival started to grow in the U.S. So, I supposed I got in on the ground floor of that revival. And the next thing you know, I was being asked to teach.
I have been teaching swing dancing for over 20 years. And I studied with several of the original swing dancers from the 1930s.

We offer group classes and private lessons. With newer students, they typically join one of our beginner level classes. These classes usually have anywhere from 8 to 30 people in them. And there is no need to bring a partner, because we rotate partners during class. As for apparrel, the only thing we recommend is that students bring shoes that don't grip the floor too much. Soft rubber soled shoes typically don't work very well for dancing (i.e., most athletic shoes). We suggest shoes with leather bottoms, artificial crepe (EVA), suade, or maybe hard rubber.
I only work with adults, ages 18 and up. I teach both leads (usually men) and follows (usually women).
Practicing and having a dedicated partner to practice with are the keys to your success in swing dance.
The event was called "Shaggin' in the Rain", and it takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was great fun! The students were so eager to learn, and the evening dances were very exciting. There were competitions and social dancing to live music all night.
