Class Descriptions:

Beginning Lindy Hop
In this class, you will learn the basics of Lindy Hop, the original swing dance from the 1930s that features fast footwork and addictive rhythms. You'll learn the basic 8-count steps that every lindy hopper should know -- swingout, lindy circle & charleston -- plus solid lead and follow technique and a different set of beginner level steps each month. This class is a progressive series, which means we review and build steadily upon previous weeks' material.

Intermediate Lindy Hop
In this class, you will build up your repertoire of lead and follow techniques, classic lindy hop moves and styling. You must already be confident with 6- and 8-count basics, including the Lindy Hop swingout and related turns, and basic Charleston steps. 3-4 months of Beginning Lindy Hop and social dancing are recommended before taking this level.

For the Beginning Swing Drop-In class, no experience is required. Beginners are welcome!

All of the Lindy Hop classes are progressive, with each week's material building on the previous week's class. We offer a drop-in Beginning Swing class every Wednesday from 9-9:30pm.

For all classes, no partner is required. We rotate partners frequently in class.
Swing dancing is a great way to meet lots of new friends!
