Swing back into the new year! Swing dance lessons have returned to the Lincoln Park District. Ethan Tapscott and his wife, Emilie, are returning to teach East Coast swing. They will be teaching a basic course that will cover such things as what steps to take, proper technique and how to apply those aspects to music. The class will be a one-hour lesson starting at 6 p.m. and will run for five consecutive weeks, beginning Friday, Feb. 3, and ending Friday, March 2.

The cost of the class will be $75 for a couple and $40 for a single. So if you are looking to try something new or want to brush up on some previous skills, the Lincoln Park District is your place to be this February. Preregistration is encouraged, and interested parties should contact the Lincoln Park District at 732-8770.
