Welcome to Red Hot Swing!

If you're looking for a good time dancing in Victoria, BC, you've come to the right place! We've got classes, dances, and more for your participatory pleasure. :)

Red Hot Swing teaches and performs vintage swing dancing: Lindy Hop, Charleston, Shag, and Balboa. Although they originated in the era of big bands and swing jazz, you can dance swing socially to pretty much any kind of music. And we do!

Good news, everyone!

Our January 2013 classes are up. Just smash that finely crafted link with your pointing device, and you can sign yourself up for:

Swing 1, our beginner series. Neither partner nor experience are necessary, just a six-week block of time on Sundays from 6:30pm to 8, starting on January 13th.

Swing 2, for folks that are past the beginner stage. You'll want to have some kind of dance background if you take this series. It'll be on Thursdays from 8pm to 9:30pm as of January 17th.

Balboa 1, another second-level class like Swing 2, with similar entry requirements. If you want to make the girls swoon, or instead be swooned, this is a good way to accomplish that objective. Runs on Wednesdays from 8pm to 9:30, with the first lesson on January 16th.

Intermediate/Advanced continues its ruthless rampage on Sunday evenings. You must complete our Swing 3 or get instructor permission to participate in the mayhem. Starts January 13th at 8pm. Rawr.

Happy holidays!
