Lindy Hop Class

Lindy Hop (also known as Jitterbug) is the original form of swing dancing, popularized in the 30s and 40s. This six-week series will cover all the essential moves and variations of Lindy Hop. The class will feature both the 6 and 8 count basics including the whip/swing out. There will be a strong concentration on technique and connection to give you a solid foundation in the dance. Good technique will provide the groundwork to feel comfortable on the dance floor and to continue to advance your dancing in the future. Each class will build upon information from the previous class to continuously further your knowledge week by week.

Quotes and Comments

“My daughter talked me into coming out and I was really pleasantly surprised. As someone who danced in the 40's and 50's, I found this class to be a lot of fun, and reminded me of the "good ol days"!”
