Frequently asked questions about swing:

  • Do I need a partner to sign up?
    Swing is a social dance, which means you don't need your own partner--you will be dancing with everyone in class. However, for balance and more fun, we request that ladies bring a gentleman if possible.

  • What if I've never danced before?
    That's the perfect position to start from!  Why would you go to a dance class if you already knew how to dance?

  • Well, I'm really not a good dancer...I have no rhythm, and two left feet.  Should I sign up?
    Trust us!  If you have two legs, two arms and a head, you can dance!  It's the dance teacher's job to help you to learn how to be rhythmical and graceful.

  • Do I need some kind of special shoes or clothes in order to take the classes?
    There are no requirements.  Just wear something comfortable, closer to sports wear, preferably flat shoes.

  • How long does it take until I can really dance?
    Honestly, it all depends on your enthusiasm! If you don't miss any classes, you can shine on the dance floor after two months.  But actually, after a couple of classes you will be able to dance!

  • Ok, so I will learn how do dance.  What's next?
    You should definitely come to the social dance parties.  We learn how to swing dance so we can do it for fun!  Check the "Events" page to see where you can dance in Phnom Penh.
