A CHANCE 2 DANCE at 4 SEASONS!!!
4 Seasons Sports Complex and CHANCE 2 DANCE Studio are teaming up to offer
you a value packed and timely opportunity to learn how to EAST COAST SWING. For
less than the cost of one hour of private instruction you will be receiving four hours of
group instruction in East Coast Swing. This is an introductory offer and a pilot
program, which hopefully will develop into future classes that will culminate with a
“DANCE CHALLENGE”, complete with judges and prizes.
East Coast Swing is a true “American Dance” and a descendant of Lindy Hop and
Jitterbug. It is also known as Triple Swing. It dates back to the 1920’s with the
discovery of Charleston and Lindy Hop while dancing to Jazz music. It followed the
development of “Ragtime” and then “Swing” music. This dance continues to be popular
with all age groups as music is available from all time eras. It is lively, fast and full of
fun. There are a variety of movements that can be danced such as spins, kicks,
turns and changes of rhythm. No drops or aerials, please.

Take the lead toward keeping your brain and heart
healthy!
Dancing is a fun way to “Save Your Brain”. Dancing is a unique form of exercise
because it provides the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise while also allowing
you to engage in a social activity. Further, dancing requires memorizing steps and
working with a partner, both of which provide mental challenges that are crucial for brain
health. One 21-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine* even
found dancing can reduce the risk of dementia.
