For brand new beginners! No partner or experience is required!

This 9-week lesson series covers key fundamentals and basics of the Lindy Hop, a type of vernacular jazz/swing dance from the 1920-30s swing era. After taking this series, you will know how to swing social dance, be more confident on the dance floor, be able to keep rhythm with the music, and be able to have incredibly fun dances

About the lessons:

• Each lesson is cumulative and builds on the learning from previous lessons

• You will learn partner connection, basic rhythm, and moves

• We rotate through different partners as we teach to help build community and give everyone experience dancing with a variety of dancers 

• Come in comfortable clothes.

• Bring a clean pair of indoor shoes (or dance in your socks if you prefer)

• Bring a water bottle!
