Do I need a partner for Hepcats dances? No. Swing dancing is a social activity. Many people attend swing dances without a dance partner. Those who do attend with a dance partner usually dance with other people as well. It’s perfectly acceptable in the swing dance community to ask someone to dance. So don’t be shy – ask someone to dance!
