About St Columb Swing Dance
Our Mission
At St Columb Swing Dance we want to share a love of swing dancing and build the local swing dance community.
Core Values
1) Swing dancing is about connection - To ourselves as a dancer, to the partner we are dancing with and to the music
2) Swing dancing is a community that we want to build - Anyone is welcome so long as we respect each other
3) We do not sacrifice on technique - We will teach the ideas needed to dance socially rather than fixed movements and steps
4) Swing dancing is a blend of structure and freedom - The structure helps us learn to speak the same 'dance' language. We can then use this shared language to express ourselves how we choose
5) Social dancing is the goal - Everything we learn in class should help us to build our confidence on the social dance floor
Pete & Becky
Pete and Becky are the pair behind St Columb Swing Dance, we do this for no other reason than to share our passion for this dance. Pete learned to dance in London before moving home to Cornwall, Becky was Pete's first student, learning to dance in our small flat whilst pregnant with our son!
