About Full Swing

Full Swing is a swing dance school at 175 Vivian Street in Te Aro, Wellington. Its main style is Lindy Hop, which the website describes as a dynamic partner dance with swing rhythms and room to improvise. The school also teaches Balboa, a faster and more intricate swing dance from the same era, and blues dance, which is built on lead and follow and musical expression. A solo vintage jazz class draws on the dances of the early 20th century, with a focus on body movement and improvisation.

The school also runs workshops and limited courses, including ones on boy band routines and 80s dance crazes. For people trying a class for the first time, the website lists a $100 rate with a student ID, Gold card or CS card, as at 2026. Questions can be sent by email or the contact form, and a newsletter gives news of upcoming classes and events. The class schedule is on the website, and the school presents its classes as a way to take dancing further after a first try.
