Our mission is to preserve and celebrate American Swing-era music and dance and to expose the greater community to the joys of swing through education, dance events, performances, and outreach. We aim to create and promote opportunities for spectators, listeners, dancers, and musicians to interact with this Black American art form in their day-to-day lives.

** We are in the second month of this 2-month series and are therefore not able to enroll new students into this class. Please join us for our next level 1 class beginning in September!
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.
Thursdays 7pm-8pm
Dates: Aug 6, 13, 20, 27
Instructors: Irina & Blake
There are a wide range of tempos Lindy Hop is danced to and it's important to be able to adapt to any situation. We will work through technique for faster dancing in both Charleston and Lindy Hop that will make it all a little easier and a little breezier!
You must have taken both Level 1 Lindy Hop and Charleston series classes or have prior instructor approval to register for this class.
Classes begin the first Wednesday or Thursday of each month unless otherwise specified.
Sign-ups for next month’s classes open in the middle of the current month.
Nope! You don’t need to bring a partner—in fact, most of our students come solo.
During class, we highly encourage rotating partners because it helps you learn faster and adapt to different leads or follows.
If you do come with a partner and prefer to stay together the whole class, that’s totally fine—you’re welcome to opt out of rotation.
All Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Balboa lesson packages include 4 (or 8) classes, once a week, that build on material from the previous class.
Drop-ins are typically not allowed since each week builds on the last.
If you pay the full class rate, it includes a free dance pass for the month(except nights with live music).
We can catch you up! Just show up 15-20 minutes early before the next class and let us know!
Unused class credits do not count towards future months.
