• Lindy 1 (Beginner): 6:15-7:15pm

  • Lindy 1 classes introduce technique and vocabulary in three class sections: 6-count focus, 8-count focus, and Charleston focus. Each section is four weeks long. Together, these three focus sections constitute the beginning syllabus for students who are new to Lindy Hop or wish to refine their basics. Students may start any of these sections from scratch with no previous knowledge of Lindy Hop or partner dancing. After completing all three sections (in any order), students may progress to Lindy 2.

    • Section A (6-Count Focus) Tuesdays, Sep. 6-27, 6:15-7:15pm

    • Section B (8-Count Focus) Tuesdays, Oct. 4-25, 6:15-7:15pm

    • Section C (Charleston Focus) Tuesdays, Nov. 1-22, 6:15-7:15pm

• Lindy 2: 7:15-8:15pm
  • In Lindy 2, students will learn to integrate the techniques and vocabulary covered in the Level 1 syllabus into comfortable and confident social dances, be introduced to more classic Lindy Hop vocabulary and styling, and continue to refine leading and following technique. Prerequisite: 3 sections of Lindy 1 (6-count, 8-count, and Charleston focus).
• Lindy 3: 8:15-9:15pm
  • In Lindy 3, we take a closer look at more subtle techniques for leading and following more complex movement patterns, work on incorporating higher levels of musicality into the dance, and apply a greater focus to personal movement, rhythm and footwork. Prerequisite: 9 months of Lindy instruction and permission of the instructor.
