Prerequisites:
For Beginning Lindy Hop, previous swing dancing experience is helpful, but not required. We will cover the 8-count Lindy Hop basics: the Swingout, the Charleston, and related steps.
For Intermediate Lindy Hop, you must be able to confidently dance the 8-count Lindy Hop Swingout basics. We will expect that you practice and social dance regularly outside of class. Different moves and concepts are taught in each 5-week series.
We rotate partners in all classes.
