Collegiate Shag Workshop

The postponed Collegiate Shag workshop is back! Collegiate Shag is a fun, fast-paced, and energetic style of swing dance. Come learn the basic footwork and positions, as well as fun shag-specific moves! This energetic dance style is great cardio, and suitable for everyone, from new to experienced dancers! Location: New College Bodyworks Studio, basement level of 45 Willcocks St, Toronto. Cost: 5$ students, 7$ non-student, free for passholders. Instructor Hyuna first learned how to dance right here, at UT-Swing back in 2015. After getting hooked on Lindy Hop, they started to learn other swing dances including Balboa, Charleston, and Collegiate Shag. They love finding ways to encourage everyone to feel comfortable, feel connected, and (most importantly) have fun! Instructor Esmé picked up Lindy Hop from some friends in 2022 while working at a field station in Virginia. Following that experience, she started dancing in Toronto and has since gotten into learning all sorts of different swing styles! Esmé joined the UT-swing exec team early 2023 to organize and teach, and is now co-president.
