Foundations Level

Foundations A

Tuesdays, Nov 5th - Dec 10th

This is where you begin! Lindy hop is a Black American social dance from the 1930s that’s done all over the world today. Foundations A is perfect for you if you’re brand new to lindy hop, have done other types of swing dancing, or want to review the foundational patterns and concepts of the dance.

Building Blocks Level

Deep Dive: Musicality

Tuesdays, Nov 5th - Dec 10th

Lindy hop is about the connection with your partner and your connection with the music! If you feel confident in your dancing skills but struggle to connect to the music, this class is for you! We’ll discuss jazz theory, interpreting and anticipating the music, and ways to embody that in your dancing to find the harmony in expressing what you hear with your partner.

Foundations

The Foundation sessions A and B are perfect for you if you're brand new to lindy hop, have done other types of swing dancing, or want to review the foundational patterns and concepts of the dance. If you're not sure where to start, Foundations is the perfect spot!

**You can start with either A or B - both start at the very beginning! But you need both to graduate to the Building Blocks level.

Building Blocks

You've completed both Foundations sessions with us or you've been dancing lindy hop for at least 4 months already.

You're familiar with basic moves like swing outs, tuck turns, and promenades and you're ready to take them to the next level. If you're unsure if you're ready for this level, send us an email and we'll help you figure it out! We can generally suggest the appropriate level by dancing with you.
