Nathan teaches a Beginning Swing drop-in lesson from 8-9pm and DJs weekly at this 1930s-themed youth-run supper club. The dining and wine menu is excellent, and everything from food preparation to serving tables is handled by the youth in the Old Skool Cafe program, a non-profit organization which offers restaurant industry training and career development to at-risk youth in San Francisco.
Private Lessons
If group classes don’t fit your schedule, consider private lessons. Nathan teaches private dance lessons for individuals, couples and small groups at his home studio in San Francisco. Scheduling is flexible and multiple lesson discounts are available.
Individual lessons are great for:
- learning the basics in a safe, non-intimidating environment before trying group classes
- tuning up your dancing
- learning specific moves, styling and technique that you want to learn
- preparing for a wedding or special event
