Foundations Level

Foundations A

Tuesdays, Feb 18th - Mar 25th

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

move like you mean it

Tuesdays, Feb 18th - Mar 25th

This session is all about how you move your body! Taking your dancing to the next level is less about stockpiling new moves and more about doing the moves you know in new and exciting ways. 

Learn how to move your entire body when you dance, deepen your partner connection, and prevent injuries.

About Our Classes

Our classes take place on Sunday and Tuesday nights at the Slovenian National Home.

You can park on either side of the building and enter through the front door on 10th Street.

Our Tuesday night class sessions are six weeks long. We want you to have as much time as possible with the class material so you can learn and practice your new skills. Our Sunday night classes are three weeks long, but have the same amount of class time as the six week sessions. At Swing Era Steps, we value high-quality dance education and want to set you up for success!

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.
Info - Swing Era Steps

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.
