This class is intended for people who have an interest in getting out on the floor to dance to swing, blues, and jazz music, and have either experimented with different forms of dance or are just now starting to get the bug.

Learn the fundamental information needed for leading and following on the social dance floor including frame, basic foot rhythms, techniques of contraction and expansion, in both open and closed position. After one class you will be ready to get out and practice. This class will give you the basic information and tools to move you into an intermediate level class.

Beginning Lindy Hop
Tuesdays from 8:30-9:30 PM; Classes beginning June 8th

This class is intended for building your swing dance vocabulary! Is this class right for you? Answer this question: Do you have a 6-8 moves that you can execute easily and successfully out on the floor? (4, 6 or 8 count moves, not including Lindy Hop or Charleston variations)

This class is perfect for people who have completed beginning Swing, and want to get out of doing basic she goes, he goes and tuck turn variations over and over and over again. There is a world of moves taught in this class, and each session is completely unique and will follow the general level of the class.
