Our next block of weekly Lindy Hop classes begins on Wednesday, 4th June!
This month is our last before a summer break, and we'll be focusing on Charleston all month long. Please note that the last week (25th June) will work slightly differently to usual - we'll have an all-levels solo Charleston class (6:30-7:30), followed by a longer social with live music. More details on the Dancecloud ticket page.
The Level 1 Fundamentals classes (7:30-8:30pm) are suitable for complete beginners, and require no prior dance experience or partner. Each week will build on the content of the previous one, and our teachers will take you through the fundamentals of Lindy Hop. Each 4-week block will begin from scratch and focus on one of the basic rhythms of lindy hop - you can join starting in either week 1 or week 2, but after that, we ask that you wait until the next block.
Level 2 Improver/Intermediate classes (6:30-7:30pm) are aimed at dancers who are already comfortable with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop (including 8 count, 6 count and Charleston) and are looking to challenge themselves further. You should have done at least one of each rhythm block before moving to this level - please speak to a teacher if you're not sure whether you are ready. These classes are drop-in so you don't need to book them as a block, but you can if you'd prefer.
We're now also offering a ticket option for both classes! You'll need to book ahead, and you should have enough prior experience to join the Level 2 classes while being happy to brush up on the fundamentals in the Level 1 classes.
Following the classes we have DJ'd music for Swing social dancing until 10pm!
