CU Swing is Columbia's swing dance club. It offers weekly, 1 hour classes in Lerner 555 taught by a professional swing instructor.

Levels

The class is offered at two levels: beginner and intermediate. Advanced level is not being offered at this time. Anyone is free to show up for any class, but beginner is tailored towards students who have no prior swing experience. Generally speaking, the Intermediate level requires knowledge of the eight-count step.

Guy:Girl ratio

Most of the classes tend to have a slight excess of girls, with a guy girl ratio of about 4:5. To deal with this, partners are rotated, so that everyone has a chance to practice. In addition, some girls will spend the class learning to dance as "leads".

Club dues

As of Fall 2008, semesterly dues were $30 (an uncomfortable jump from the $20 dues of 2007).
