The
Lindy Hop is the original high-energy partnered jazz dance,
invented
in the late 1920's Harlem and popularized in the '30s and
'40s.
We can't wait to have you join us for this exciting five week
series!
We'll focus on \"basic\" Lindy Hop moves for the inexperienced
beginners,
but break them down and work on perfecting them for the more
experienced
swing dancers. (Basic Swing Dance experience required)

If
you've never been introduced to swing dancing, or if it's been
awhile,
or if you'd like to re-orient your existing swing knowledge
towards
Lindy Hop, then this is the class for you! In this five week
series,
we'll focus on simple moves and rhythms that are common to all
forms
of swing dancing... but with the goal of preparing you to move on
to
Lindy Hop!
