7:00PM - West Coast for Lindy Hoppers Class
7:45PM - Lindy Hop for Westies Class

New to swing dancing? We’ll have a beginner Lindy Hop lesson at 6:30pm. No partner needed - we rotate throughout the lesson, so you’ll get a chance to dance with different people.

Stick around after the lesson for a DJ’d social dance from 7:30pm onwards!

We are excited to have Drew and Shanley teaching our Foundations to Balboa series this Fall. Over the six weeks you will learn some pure-bal and bal-swing basics that allow you to feel comfortable on the dance floor.

Balboa is a style of swing that started on the west coast around the same time that Lindy Hop was being danced on the east coast. Balboa was danced in crowded ballrooms and is known for its close embrace, shuffle footwork, and the ability to dance it to a variety of tempos.

No partner needed! Prior dance experience is useful but not required.

Thursdays • 7:45- 8:45pm
Sept 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22
$90 for the full 6-week series
$75 if also registering for Foundation to Lindy Hop
