Level 1 Lindy Hop: 8-WEEKS

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.

Level 1 Charleston

This class will get you moving on the dance floor, and here we're focusing on the dance that started it all. This dance is often interspersed within any social swing dance, or can be danced standalone. Charleston is the jelly to the Lindy Hop peanut butter. This basic also helps you dance to faster music, without feeling like you're working too hard--but you'll never feel like you're getting this much exercise when you're having so much fun!

Level 2 Lindy Hop: The Swingout

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.

Level 2 Charleston

We will be starting from the connection and aesthetics of the basic, and moving quickly on to build on the technique and connection of other patterns in hand to hand and tandem charleston as well. No partner required. You must have either taken all three months of beginner series classes to register for this class, or have talked with one of the instructors about being placed at this level.
