    a new series starts at the beginning of each month.

    How Much:

    $32 for the 4-week series of either class ($24 for students with ID)
    $48 for the 4-week series of two classes ($36 for students with ID)

    In other words, if you are in Intermediate you can take Beginning again for half price. We love it when our students come back and get their basics Down.

    What:



     

    Beginning Lindy Hop will cover the basics of 8-count Lindy; no partner or previous dance experience is required.  Steps in the Beginning class include the under-arm turn, swingout, circle, charleston, and some simple variations on these.  Students often take the Beginning class a second or third time, even in addition to the Intermediate class, to gain confidence in their basics and improve their technique.

    Intermediate Lindy Hop is for those who have taken at least one month of Beginning Lindy Hop and are comfortable with the basics. Students tend to repeat this class many times, as the curriculum varies from month to month; we have a couple years' worth of different lesson plans.

    9pm has traditionally been for Advanced Lindy, a time to work on the finer points of technique.  But we have found lately that students are shy about joining because they don't think they are all that advanced.  So we have relabeled it Practice Time, so that everyone can stay after and practice what they learned, and those that feel ready to ask questions or work on specific techniques can get the help they need, without feeling like they have to audition.
