BOGO is sold out! But you can still sign up as an individual. Level 1 Lindy Hop starts from the very beginning, focusing on partner connection and 6-count 8-count patterns that are essential for any Lindy Hopper. This is a longer 8-week course because there are some basics in here that can be fairly challenging. If you have to miss a week or two, let us know and come early the next week so we can catch you up. Lets get you out on the dance floor! No experience or partner required.

This is the Lindy Hop basic, and yet one of the most complicated moves to master. We could spend a year (or more) working on this, but we're going to condense it down to the most important parts for this month. We'll work on technique of the swingout, stylizations, and moves based on the swingout. No partner required. You must have either taken both Level 1 Lindy Hop and Charleston series classes to register for this class, or have experience dancing Lindy Hop and have some familiarity with the swing out already.

For this 4 week series, we’re continuing our extended 90 minute class time with 30 minutes of practice afterwords! This month will be split into two focuses:
• Weeks 1 & 2: Lindy Hop contest prep-- what to expect, ideas/ moves to play with, continuing to build on fundamentals, and tools to help with stress and anxiety that come with competing. All of this will lead into our first local Salt City Swing strictly competition on 1/15/26! Note: if you don’t care to compete this will still be a great class to learn new things and get continued support with your dance journey.
• Weeks 3 & 4: taking inspiration from vintage clips of those dancers that created, developed, and made this dance incredible. Different dancers have different ways of moving and you’ll find an immense amount of inspiration for not only your own dancing, but your interest and passion for Lindy Hop and Jazz. Lindy Hop and Jazz are Black American dances. We’ll speak to this more in class, but a good starting point for resources can be found here.
