A note from instructor David Rose: "I learned to dance in San Francisco during the swing dance craze some 20 years ago.  I was taught and studied under many world class dancers and teachers. 

I specialize in swing, East Coast, Lindy Hop, Balboa and Collegiate Shag. I have traveled throughout the US and Europe teaching and dancing.  Since arriving in Vt. 12 years ago I have taught dance at Middlebury College, St Michael's College, the Waldorf schools and  many of our Town Halls from North Nero to Brandon.  I love to dance and want to share this art form with as many students as possible."
