Our mission is to preserve and celebrate American Swing-era music through dance and to expose the greater community to the joys of swing through education, dance events, performances, and outreach. We aim to create and promote opportunities for spectators, listeners, dancers, and musicians to interact with this African-American art form in their day-to-day lives.
We are thrilled to have the incredible Jo Hoffberg in our neck of the woods to share her depth of knowledge with us during this workshop weekend! There will be a combination of solo movement and partnered classes throughout the weekend, taught with the extraordinary Anthony Chen. Schedule and registration info to follow, but for now, save the date and don't miss out on learning from one of the top Lindy Hop dancers of our era!
Thursdays 7pm-8pm
Dates: Aug. 8, 15, 22, 29, Sept. 5, 12, 19, 26
Instructors: Anthony and Thomas
** We are in the second month of this 2-month series and are therefore not able to enroll new students into this class. Please join us for our next level 1 Lindy Hop class beginning in October!
Level 1 Lindy Hop starts from the very beginning, focusing on partner connection and 6-count 8-count patterns that are essential for any Lindy Hopper. This is a longer 8-week course because there are some basics in here that can be fairly challenging. If you have to miss a week or two, let us know and come early the next week so we can catch you up. Lets get you out on the dance floor! No experience or partner required.
