Long Island Swing Syndicate
Our social dances consist of any event or venue around Long Island where we can assemble a critical mass of dancers! In the past, the venues have included public parks, beach boardwalks, empty stages, outdoor concerts, car shows, bars with live music, bars with jukeboxes, church basements, and local speakeasies.
Our classes are structured as monthly weekend workshops.
We regularly post in our Facebook & Meetup groups about local events with live music that are “dancer-friendly.” See our calendar for updates on where we’ll be dancing next, and please join us anytime!
The workshops are usually two hours in length and are either two separate classes or a single two-hour workshop on a special topic or vintage swing dance style such as Six-Count Swing (aka East Coast Swing), Smooth Swing, Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Solo Jazz, Swing Line Dances, Partnered Swing Choreography & Performances, Dips & Tricks, Jumps & Aerials, and Carolina Shag.
Too fun to be legal! Long Island Swing Syndicate (LISS) aims to grow and enhance the swing dance community on Long Island, New York. Whether you’re new to partner dancing or an experienced Lindy hopper, there’s a LISS class or event for you!
Private Lessons – Want some individual attention? Private lessons offer an intense, personalized learning environment that allows you to focus on mastering footwork, styling, and technique. You may share your private lessons with a partner (one leader, one follower) at no additional cost. Private lessons are particularly recommended for wedding couples who wish to do swing for their first dance.
No partner is necessary and drop-ins are always welcome.
Our group classes are typically priced at $25 per hour, with discounts for those who register for multiple classes held on the same day. Private lessons are 55 minutes long, $85 for one lesson and $400 for a pack of five lessons. Privates can be one-on-one with a professional instructor or you can bring a partner at no extra charge (i.e., leads may bring a follow or vice versa). All lessons must be used within one year of the date of purchase. Discounts may be available; for details, please ask an instructor before buying private lessons online.
GIFT CERTIFICATES – Please contact us if you’d like to design a gift certificate for a dancer in your life. Gift certificates can be used group classes and weekend workshops as well as private lessons.
