Been thinking about trying dance for a while? This is your chance!

Andrew & Sidney are teaching a Foundations to 6-Count Lindy Hop series perfect for:
• Brand new dancers
• Dancers who want to strengthen fundamentals
• Anyone wanting to learn the opposite role 💛

Lindy Hop is the grandfather to all swing dances! It emerged from the African American communities in Harlem, NY in the late 20’s and became widely popular. It is all about connection, improvisation, and play, and that’s exactly what we’ll explore.

You’ll learn classic moves, partner connection, and fun variations to help you feel confident and relaxed on the social floor ✨

No partner or prior experience needed!

We know it can be intimidating trying something new by yourself, so we are offering $20 off the series if you sign up with a friend.

Thursdays • 6:30 - 7:30pm
Sept 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22
$90 for the full 6-week series
