Lindy Hop Dance Classes

About

Lindy Hop is a partner dance that is said to have been invented in The Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, New York, in the 1920's and 1930's, and was danced to swing music. It was the American GI soldiers who bought Lindy Hop to Britain in the early 1940's. Lindy is traditionally danced to swing music. We teach the 'Savoy' style of Lindy made famous by the King of Lindy Hop, Frankie Manning. This is the authentic original and best style.

Beginners Level - For complete novices, basics of the Lindy Hop will be taught step by step, building on the fundamentals each week. You will be dancing with smoothness and style by the end of the term.

Intermediate Level - This class is for dancers who already have some experience in dancing Lindy Hop. An understanding of 6 and 8 count rhythms, triple steps and Lindy Hop fundamentals such as Lindy Turns, Lindy Circles and Swing Outs are essential for participation in this class. Add some tricks, footwork variations and Charleston steps to elevate your dancing to another level.

Wear smooth soled flat shoes and comfy clothes. No partner required as we will rotate the class, partners can stay together if they prefer.
